It feels like they have made the initial move. Several clubs are in the race to sign the \u20ac100m rated left winger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-latest-news-of-yan-diomande-to-arsenal\">What is the latest news of Yan Diomande to Arsenal?<\/h2>\n<p>Arsenal are clearly ambitious to improve their left wing for the next season. They are trying to go for a big name in the summer for that position. If we take a quick scan, that the left wing is the only spot where there is a lack of a star player. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caughtoffside.com\/2026\/04\/06\/arsenal-yan-diomande-transfer\/\" id=\"https:\/\/www.caughtoffside.com\/2026\/04\/06\/arsenal-yan-diomande-transfer\/\">As per reports, the Gunners have started to talk with Yan Diomande\u2019s camp. Report also says that the London club has approached to people close to Diomande who will inform\u00a0 them about his future moves. It also claims that expecting a bid right after the window begins will not be a right thing. Yan Diomande\u2019s name has been taken among the recruitment team of the club as they are really focused on the left wing spot. The 19-year-old has been praised a lot. His  performances this season is justifying the efforts the clubs are putting into signing him. <\/p>\n<p>Liverpool and Manchester United are heavily linked with the Ivorian winger. A move to Liverpool makes more sense, given that Salah is leaving Merseyside at the end of the season. Man United may get an upperhand as they can use the Ivorian connections of Amad Diallo. German club, RB Leipzig can ask a fee of about \u20ac100m for the star winger. <\/p>\n<p>But Arsenal director, Andrea Berta has involved himself in this transfer saga and is reportedly elevating his efforts to bring the forward to the club. Liverpool still have a question mark about their Champions League qualification next season. Arsenal will easily qualify as they are fighting for the title which may give them an advantage in this transfer.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-key-statistic\">Key Statistic:<\/h2>\n<p>This season, Yan Diomande has scored a hat trick. He has also netted 10 goals and delivered 6 assists in 27 matches in Bundesliga, as per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statmuse.com\/fc\/ask?q=yan+diomand%C3%A9+stats+this+season\" id=\"https:\/\/www.statmuse.com\/fc\/ask?q=yan+diomand%C3%A9+stats+this+season\">Statmuse<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-152184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Arsenal-51.webp 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Arsenal-51-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Arsenal-51-768x432.webp 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Arsenal-51.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Arsenal-51.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-152184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Arsenal-51.webp 1200w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Arsenal-51-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/footballexpress.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Arsenal-51-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-has-bukayo-saka-performed-this-season\">How has Bukayo Saka performed this season?<\/h2>\n<p>The Gunners\u2019 starboy, Bukayo Saka is not in a good form this season. The English winger has netted the ball just 2 times in 15  games. His injury issue is also a concern which can pose a threat for Arsenal in future. <\/p>\n<p>Recently, Saka could not feature for Arsenal in their FA Cup quarter final defeat to Southampton. Before that, he had to exit from the England national team squad due to a minor injury issue. But that does not cover his poor performances this season. Micah Richards has criticised Arteta\u2019s tactics for his <strong><em>\u201cnot so good\u201d<\/em><\/strong>  form. He thinks that the Spanish manager\u2019s philosophy is much more defensive which is very unusual for a title contending team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ALSO READ: <\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-arsenal-s-transfer-plans-for-their-forward-line\">What are Arsenal\u2019s transfer plans for their forward line?<\/h2>\n<p>The players the  have in the left wing position are Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli. The Brazilian may seek a leave from the club at the end of the season. He has found himself at the bottom of Arteta\u2019s pecking order. Trossard is 31 years old and will enter the final year in his contract. A dip has come in the Belgian\u2019s performances if we compare his previous year\u2019s statistics. <\/p>\n<p>Yan Diomande has produced his finest seasons of his career so far. After making a \u20ac20m move to Bundesliga from Leganes, he has scored goals for fun. The Ivorian youngster has displayed his flair and skill throughout the season on the left flank. <\/p>\n<p>Saka\u2019s inconsistency, Martinelli\u2019s potential exit and Trossard\u2019s age and his future at the club are the reasons for the club\u2019s pursuit for a prolific winger. They will try their level best to bring Diomande at the Emirates.<\/p>\n<div class=\"preferred-source-box\" style=\"margin-top:40px;padding:25px;background: #ba0001;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px;text-align:center;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;margin-bottom:10px;color:#fff;\">ENJOYED THIS STORY?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:20px;color:#fff;\">\n<p>                    Add Football Express as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reporting\n                <\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"after-article-links\">Follow the latest updates from <strong>Premier League<\/strong> and <strong>Champions League<\/strong>or explore more football stories across Europe.
