Wenger Eyes Diego Deal - Report
Arsenal are reportedly preparing to swoop for Werder Bremen playmaker Diego, should Alexander Hleb eventually leave the Emirates this summer…
Hleb was one of the Gunners’ most important players this season, forming a creative pairing with Cesc Fabregas that had them sitting top of the table for much of the season.
But the Belarus international has been strongly linked with a switch to Inter Milan, and recently his agent confirmed the 27-year-old was seeking a move abroad due to his displeasure with life in London.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will be under immense pressure to replace the former Stuttgart man should he leave, and the Bundesliga may be the first port of call in the search for his replacement.
According to the Daily Mail, the Frenchman has targeted Diego to fill the void on the flanks, in a type of move very similar to the one that brought Hleb to North London.
The 23-year-old has risen to fame playing in the hole between the midfielders and the strikers, much as Hleb did during his time in Germany, but Wenger would no doubt seek to install him on either wing.
The Brazil international has been linked with a host of clubs across Europe, including Juventus, Real Madrid and Liverpool, but Bremen are keen to keep hold of him, meaning the Gunners may have to splash out an uncharacteristically large sum for the ex-Porto man.
