Arsenal leading the race to sign £60m left footed Man City man who can destroy defenders in a flash, he’s more skillful and technical better than Bukayo Saka
The Gunners are flying high this season, as Arteta now leads them to the top of the Premier League with ten games remaining.
Even better, they have qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League with a tie against Bayern Munich, confirming their renaissance since Arteta’s appointment in 2019.
Arsenal’s biggest dreams in the transfer window are growing with additions like Declan Rice, David Raya, and Kai Havertz, who have pushed the quality of the squad higher in recent years.
Yet, pundits and former players agree Arsenal need further reinforcements up front, especially a central striker, for a proper title challenge.
Priority is attack reinforcement; however, the latest report shows how Arteta is eyeing the additional attacking midfield and wing positions as well. Brahim Diaz, who used to be with Manchester City, is now an immediate target for Arsenal, where a €70 million (£60 million) bid has been presented by the club for the Real Madrid midfielder.

Particularly with Diaz recently in the limelight showcasing his potential at becoming a “central” player for Real Madrid, the interest from Arsenal in the talented playmaker has gained further weight considering, his joint tenure with Arteta back then at Manchester City. Diaz is very likely to be considering other options around the globe since his future under the Real Madrid wings looks less likely due to incoming transfer of Kylian Mbappe on the bosman to Madrid.
Arsenal really have their eyes on Diaz as much as strengthening their midfield options at the moment. They are ahead of the race for the signature of the talented playmaker. The new chapter now offers to Diaz to be a saga in the books of Arteta’s grand plans for the future of the club and adds credence to their competitive ambition at the highest level.
In addition to Diaz, Arsenal will also sign David Raya of Brentford on a permanent transfer. After a fine-loan spell, the superstar goalkeeper had done well in the Champions League, reinforcing the Gunners’ determination to make the move permanent at a fee of £27 million.
Just as Arsenal plugs further holes in its growing squad to face future battles, so the possible signings of Brahim Diaz and David Raya are markers of intent from the club to bolster key areas of its competitiveness, both in the domestic and European competitions. Under Arteta, the gunsmiths would appear to be progressing well in their resurgence. The future thus promises to be very lively both for the stadium and the supporters of the North London club.
