Diomande sparks battle as Premier League giants eye Sporting star | OneFootball

Arsenal and Chelsea continue to have Ousmane Diomande on their list for the winter transfer market. The Ivorian is well-regarded at both clubs, despite Sporting having no intention of selling the player in this transfer window.

Particular attention is given to the Blues' interest in the Lions' central defender.

They also seem to be keeping an eye on the advances for Diomande, who is seen as one of Rui Borges' untouchables in Sporting's main team.

Despite these rumors and the recent interest from Galatasaray, Sporting does not intend to move forward with proposals that may come for the Ivorian international in January, believing he is one of the most important pieces for winning the championship three times in a row.

In the current season, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has played seven matches for Sporting: three in the Liga Portugal Betclic, two in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In total, the central defender has accumulated 497 minutes.
