Arsenal are monitoring RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande ahead of a potential summer transfer, with a fee of £86 million reportedly required to secure his signature. The 19-year-old Ivory Coast international is expected to leave the Bundesliga club at the end of the season after impressing this campaign.
Diomande signed for Leipzig in a £17.3 million deal from Leganes in July and has since scored six goals and provided three assists in 14 appearances. He has a contract until 2030, and Leipzig have no intention of selling him in January, but a large offer could tempt them in the summer. Manchester United and Tottenham are also linked.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are working on a deal to sign Blackburn Rovers forward Igor Tyjon, according to reports. The 17-year-old, who has made three senior appearances for Blackburn, has rejected a professional contract at the Championship club. No fee has been agreed, but the move is considered 'one to watch' this month.
