Arsenal have ‘asked’ about summer transfer as striker attracts plenty of interest

Arsenal’s charge for the Premier League title continues this weekend as they look to keep their momentum going. The Gunners drew 2-2 away at Liverpool last time out.

They take on West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon. In the meantime, here is a look at some of the latest transfer news and rumours coming out of the club...

Forward eyed

Arsenal are being linked with a summer transfer swoop for Real Madrid attacker Brahim Diaz, who has been a hit on loan at AC Milan over recent times. According to Italian news outlet Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness) the Gunners have ‘asked’ for information about the 23-year-old ahead of the next transfer window.

The once-capped Spain international started out at Malaga before Manchester City snapped him up in 2015 when he was a youngster. He went on to make 15 first-team appearances during his time in England before leaving in 2019.

Striker wanted

Folarin Balogun is reportedly a man in-demand ahead of the summer as Arsenal face a big decision to make on the striker’s future. According to 90min, English sides Brentford, Leicester City, Wolves, Everton and Crystal Palace are all ‘keeping tabs’ on his situation at the Emirates Stadium, along with European teams like RB Leipzig, Eintracht Frankfurt, Union Berlin, Marseille, Nice, Lyon, Villarreal and Sevilla.

The 21-year-old has caught the eye on loan at Reims in France this term and has fired 19 goals in all competitions for Will Still’s side. He also had a stint with Middlesbrough in the last campaign to gain experience.
