Moussa Diaby to Arsenal transfer latest: Gunners stance, true transfer value, Newcastle interest

Arsenal's summer transfer window has been on the busier side of things so far, adding five players to the squad at a cost of over £100million. Business looks far from over at this stage though, with just under one month left of the market to go and the potential for further additions.

Manager Mikel Arteta has hinted at more signings following the victory at Crystal Palace on the opening day of the Premier League season, claiming work can be done to the squad. One area that continues to be linked with transfer targets is at right-wing, with the likes of Cody Gakpo still of interest to the Gunners.

The latest name to appear in relation to Arsenal is Bayer Leverkusen's Moussa Diaby, who continues to impress in the Bundesliga. With that said, here's a look at the latest on his potential move to the Emirates Stadium.

Transfer stance

Amid interest in his services going forward, Diaby has spoken out about a decision over his future at the club this season: "I’ve made my decision and will play for Bayer Leverkusen again next season."

It may come as a blow to the Gunners for this current summer window, however there could still be a long-term pursuit of the winger for the year to come.

True transfer value

With so much interest surrounding players on the transfer market, it remains unknown just how much a player is worth. However, CIES Football Observatory attempt to do so using their methodologies to land on a rough pricing for a player.

According to their website, Diaby is currently worth up to roughly £60million.

Newcastle battle

The Gunners aren't the only team eyeing a move for Diaby this summer, as Sky Sports reports that the forward is of interest to Newcastle United. The 23-year-old is said to be the centre of potential talks with a move to the Magpies, who are looking to build a title challenging side after their recent takeover and Premier League survival.

Arsenal interest

Arsenal hold long-term interest in Moussa Diaby, according to Fabrizio Romano, via Caught Offside. The Bayer Leverkusen winger has continued to impress for the Bundesliga side, with Romano claiming that the Frenchman is viewed as an alternative to Raphinha after he snubbed the Emirates for Barcelona.

The 23-year-old had 31 goal involvements across all competitions last season for Leverkusen, showing why he is of such interest to clubs at an elite level.
