Arsenal have made enquiries about RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.<\/strong><\/p>\n Having lost out to Chelsea for Morgan Rogers, the Gunners have been scouring the market for potential alternatives, and speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano confirmed that they have considered a move for Diomande:<\/p>\n \u201cArsenal, over the last few days, made some checks with the agents of Yan Diomande from Red Bull Leipzig to understand if there was still a chance to enter the deal. But don\u2019t forget that Diomande has an agreement on personal terms with Paris Saint-Germain and Paris Saint-Germain are in negotiations with Leipzig.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cArsenal made some calls to understand the situation of Diomande, just to give you context of what happened over the recent days.\u201d<\/p>\n Supporters on X are sceptical that the Premier League champions can pull off such a move, not only due to the cost, but also because of PSG\u2019s interest:<\/p>\n It’s not happening. PSG will blow us out of the water by overpaying. He is also a French speaker. Not a chance.<\/p>\n \u2014 Nadar (@Nadar1414) July 19, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Would be great if he was about 50m cheaper r<\/p>\n \u2014 Tavares’ Dog (@dialsquare26) July 19, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Another player we\u2019re probably lose out on lol \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n \u2014 Thomas Giddins (@thomas_giddins) July 19, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n PSG bound right.

Diomande would cost a club record fee<\/h2>\n
Leipzig\u2019s valuation is an eyewatering \u20ac130m (\u00a3110.5m), so he would actually be cheaper than Rogers, who will seal his \u00a3117m switch to Stamford Bridge next week.<\/p>\nAre Arsenal looking at any other winger?<\/h2>\n
