While PSG remains his preferred transfer destination, the German club hope to convince him to stay for another season.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s natural that Arsenal would be interested after losing Morgan Rodgers to Chelsea. Mikel Arteta still wants a strong, direct attacker who can operate from the left and get the ball into congested areas.<\/p>\n<p>Diomand has those qualities, but the Gunners first need to see if he reconsiders his preference for Paris.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, Arsenal&#8217;s approach should be seen as more exploratory than progressive, as no formal bid has been reported.<\/p>\n<p>The former Chelsea and Liverpool star praised Diomand, calling him &#8220;explosive&#8221;. he said:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;There are a lot of top wingers in world football right now, but Diomande is the best player I&#8217;ve ever seen. He&#8217;s very explosive.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"PSGs_uncertainty_brings_hope_to_Gunners\"><\/span>PSG&#8217;s uncertainty brings hope to Gunners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The situation may be more open than it initially appears. FootballTransfers reported that PSG could withdraw due to complex contract issues, including disputes over player representation rights and image rights.<\/p>\n<p>That uncertainty is a clear boost for Arsenal. However, removing PSG from the equation does not solve Leipzig&#8217;s valuation, nor does it guarantee that Diomande wants to move to the Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal should keep in touch without rushing into making an inflated offer.<\/p>\n<p>Diomand has superstar potential, but there&#8217;s a clear risk in paying a finished product price for a teenager coming off an elite season.<\/p>\n<p>The smartest thing to do is to first find out his intentions and then negotiate firmly.<\/p>\n<p>If he remains committed to PSG or Leipzig refuses to compromise, Arsenal should move on to other targets immediately.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8216;They can still do it&#8217; \u2013 Romano problems prompt Arsenal midfield transfer update <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal have reopened the door to a major attacking addition by making an inquiry to RB Leipzig winger Yann Diomande.The 19-year-old is regarded as one of Europe&#8217;s most exciting young attackers, with his explosive dribbling and improved final product following a breakthrough season in Germany.
