Arsenal’s newly appointed sports director, Andrea Berta, is actively pursuing first-class talent to strengthen his team ahead of the upcoming season.
The gunners are primarily focused on signing new attackers this summer to add strength to their teams.
They missed the Premier League title again, but one of the main reasons for this is the lack of a proper goal scorer from the team.
This summer, the club desperately needs a proper number nine, and Mikel Arteta and his management team have identified their goals.
The gunners are paying attention to defensive additions
Defensive reinforcements cannot be eliminated, but Arteta realized that he needs a big team to challenge in all respects.
This season’s injuries have hindered the season and are now ready to add players to every position.
Records say Berta sent the club’s chief scouts to see the sport’s CP defender Osmanedio Mande in action.
Despite being on track to reach the Champions League semi-finals and secure a third consecutive Premier League runner-up finish, Arsenal’s ambitions remain firmly set to win the major trophies.
The 21-year-old Ivorian Defender was impressed by the Sporting CP and shows Arsenal’s Scouting Network’s high-profile attributes, strong defensive ability and calmness to the ball.
His additions provide not only depth, but also competition for a starting role in Arteta’s evolving defensive setup.
Diomande is firmly present in the Arsenal Radar
As Arsenal prepares for another major recruiting drive, Diomande’s performance will be closely monitored and Gunners see him as a viable option to strengthen his defensive ranks ahead of next season.
The 21-year-old defender has been in impressive form this season, and currently holds a £67 million release clause in his contract with Sports CP.
Despite this hefty valuation, Arsenal is optimistic that it can negotiate the deal at a lower rate.
The gunner is chasing another athlete and Diomande’s teammate, Victor Gyoker.
Reuben Amorim’s Manchester United also links Diomande’s move.
