From Spain: Arsenal closely monitoring 14 G/A star who's available for €40m | OneFootball

Arsenal are reportedly closely monitoring Real Madrid attacking midfielder Brahim Diaz as a potential transfer target for this summer.

The 26-year-old is not always a regular in the Real Madrid starting line up, but he’s still managed an impressive record of seven goals and seven assists in all competitions for club and country this season.

Diaz certainly looks like someone who could fit in well at Arsenal due to his technical ability and intelligence, and his ability to play a variety of midfield roles.

According to Fichajes, this has the Gunners keeping a close eye on his situation ahead of the summer, when it’s expected that Madrid could let him go for around €40m.

Brahim Diaz transfer could be one to watch for Arsenal

Even if Diaz probably wouldn’t be the name at the top of every Arsenal fan’s list of targets, the Morocco international looks a smart option on the market due to his low cost.

One imagines he’d probably only come in to add depth to Mikel Arteta’s squad, which is pretty much what he’s already doing at the Bernabeu, but all big clubs need a strong bench they can rely on over a long and difficult campaign.

Overall, we’d give this a 14/25 with our Transfer Fit rating system – read more here about how we calculate these…

Diaz has also been on the radar of Newcastle United and we’ll surely see plenty more transfer rumours about him in the weeks and months ahead if he is indeed available for such a tempting price.
