Arsenal are set to prioritize the signing of Brahim Diaz once the summer transfer window opens. The midfielder who recently switched allegiances to Morocco has found game time hard to come by at the Spanish capital.

Diaz is reportedly unhappy with his playing time despite publicly expressing his understanding of the competition at the club.

So far this season, he has only started 16 out of his 31 appearances for the club. He finds himself behind Rodrygo, Bellingham and Vinicius in the pecking order of starters in attack.

His place in the squad is further threatened by the potential arrival of Mbappe in the summer, and the increasing demand to play Arder Guler.

The player has managed to score 8 and laid on 4 assists in his time on the pitch.

Arsenal set to prioritize the signing of Brahim Diaz

Now, Arsenal are set to prioritize the signing of Brahim Diaz and will try to convince the player in the summer.

Brahim Diaz is no stranger to being linked with Arsenal in transfer windows. His versatility and experiences in Manchester City academy appeals to Mikel Arteta, who knows the player.

With the likes of Smithrowe and Fabio Vieira failing to challenge the first team players at Arsenal, Arteta wants a young player who can.

The Spanish coach feels Diaz is perfect for the role as he will provide cover for Saka and Odegaard when needed.

Looking Ahead

Arsenal have an opportunity to take a first hand look at the player in the champion’s league. Arsenal have a potential semi final clash with Real Madrid coming up. Both sides will meet should they beat Bayern and Manchester City respectively in the quarter final.

 

Arsenal are have also already drawn a four man shortlist for the summer transfer window. The North Londoners are said to have a clear summer plan, which includes a striker.
