Negotiations are underway regarding Ousmane Diomande, with Arsenal keen to finalise a deal with Sporting as they look to strengthen their squad for the run-in. The defender has emerged as a top transfer target in recent weeks, and the player's representatives are also believed to be involved in early discussions on personal terms. Whether a deal can be struck remains to be seen, but there is increasing optimism that the transfer could go through in the coming days. Newcastle, Paris SG and Man Utd may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. With only 24 goals conceded in 32 (0.75 per game), Arsenal have been one of the stronger defences in the Premier League this season.. Ousmane Diomande would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Alongside this, Sporting are said to be exploring Sergi Altimira Clavell with Arsenal likewise connected to Morten Hjulmand, Jeremy Monga and Noah Sadiki. Need more Arsenal transfer rumours?
