Newcastle transfer news

Following yet another outstanding performance for Xabi Alonso's team, Diaby is drawing notice. In all competitions this season, he has eight goals and four assists to his credit. After learning that Mykhaylo Mudryk chose Chelsea rather than the Gunners, he has just come back onto Arsenal's radar. According to reports from Sky Sports on Tuesday, Mikel Arteta's representatives have spoken about a prospective transfer for the 23-year-old.

The Premier League's top teams allegedly covet Diaby, according to The Daily Mail. The Frenchman is being followed by other teams in the division as well, though. In fact, according to the Mail, Newcastle has already contacted Diaby. And they want to be kept updated on any new information about his future. Leverkusen's demands had reportedly previously prevented the Magpies from accepting a deal. Although they would like to keep him this month, if they are unable to sell some of their other players, they may consider selling him.
