Arsenal want Issa Diop

Arsenal are interested in signing Issa Diop from West Ham United this summer, according to the Mirror.

Football is currently at a standstill across Europe due to the Coronavirus outbreak, and it remains to be seen what the final solution to the problem of completing the 2019/20 season will be. The same goes for the summer transfer window, which will surely be affected in some way too.

But clubs and managers must continue making plans for the future, and to that end, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, tested positive for the notorious virus, is keen on resolving what he believes are still deficiencies in his defence, despite the arrival of Pablo Mari.

Diop arrived to the London Stadium in 2018 from Toulouse, and despite the rather poor campaign from the Hammers, his individual performances this term have been found impressive enough to spark Arsenal interest. The 23-year-old’s situation is also being monitored by Manchester United and Chelsea.
