Arsenal are expected to be active in the summer transfer window.
The Gunners didn’t sign anyone in January, and they didn’t really need to because they had brought in eight new players in the summer.
Arsenal are well-equipped to go all the way in all four competitions this season with the squad they have, but there is still room for improvement.
One area where the Premier League leaders are expected to strengthen in the summer is on the left wing, and one of their targets has just changed his agents ahead of a potential move – Yan Diomande.
Imagine you are Andrea Berta. Who is your top target for Arsenal in the summer transfer window?
Arsenal target Yan Diomande hires the same agents as Gabriel Martinelli
Diomande has emerged as one of the most exciting young wingers in the Bundesliga.
The 19-year-old only joined RB Leipzig last summer, and despite his young age and lack of experience, he has played a lot.
In 21 appearances in all competitions, 16 of which have come from the start, Diomande has scored eight goals and provided six assists, which is an incredible return.
That has put him on the radar of several top clubs, and as Arsenal Insider exclusively revealed in November, Arsenal like Diomande as well.
It is looking very likely that the teenager will leave Leipzig for a bigger club in the summer, and the Gunners may have received a boost in their pursuit.
That’s because Diomande changed his agents this week and is now represented by Roc Nation Sports, the same agency that looks after Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli.
Arsenal already have a relationship with them, which is why they could have an advantage in the race to sign Diomande, who is also wanted by Manchester United.
However, the youngster, who has been hailed as ‘the Bundesliga’s newest superstar’, is tied down to a contract until 2030, and that puts Leipzig in a strong position in potential transfer negotiations.

Mikel Arteta will love Yan Diomande at Arsenal
There’s a common theme among all of Arsenal’s wingers.
It’s not just that they are all exceptional going forward, but every single one of them works their socks off defensively as well.
Diomande is exactly the same, and that could be one of the reasons why Arsenal are interested in signing him this summer.
RB Leipzig boss Ole Werner said about the youngster, as per Goal: “He often gets past his opponents without any tricks, simply because he’s so dynamic.
“But what’s even more important to me is that he works for the team and is very good at counter-pressing. It’s a matter of attitude, and he demonstrates that.”
We’re sure Mikel Arteta will love that side of Diomande’s game.
