Arsenal Are Leading The Race For This Real Madrid Playmaker: Good Choice For Arteta? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Fichajes stated that Arsenal are leading the race for Real Madrid playmaker Brahim Diaz. It is believed that the Gunners are ready to move in for the Morocco international in the upcoming transfer window.

Diaz’s Good Run Of Form In Spain

Diaz has enjoyed a decent campaign at the Madrid club as he has put in a string of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 26-year-old has found the back of the net once and picked up six assists in 31 matches for Los Blancos this season on all fronts.

The Moroccan talent is currently among the most talented wide players in La Liga. Thus, the Gunners would do well to lure him to the Emirates Stadium this summer.

His current contract at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium will run out at the end of next season, which could open the door for Arsenal to sign him on the cheap this off-season.

Will Diaz Be A Good Choice For Arsenal Boss Mikel Arteta?

Diaz can strike the ball with venom from long range and has got the eye to play some decisive passes on the offensive end of the field. He is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can chip in by picking up his fair share of assists from the wide areas.

The Morocco international is primarily a right-sided wide player but can also function as a left-winger or as a centre-forward if told to do so. He already knows the Premier League well from his time at Manchester City and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Arsenal if they can find a way to bring him on board later this year.

Diaz would undoubtedly enhance the quality of Mikel Arteta’s frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the North London club in the coming seasons.

At 26, Diaz has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a good choice for the Gunners to pursue this summer. He might even help Arsenal challenge for some major honours over the next few years. Therefore, Arteta would be wise to go all out to bring Diaz to the Emirates Stadium in the upcoming transfer window.
