Here is a roundup of the top Arsenal news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews that you may have missed today featuring Dro Fernandez and Yan Diomande…
RedBull director Oliver Mintzlaff has reportedly told the likes of Arsenal that they dont want to sell Yan Diomande, but admits that “we have to generate revenue.”
Despite all the quality that ARSENAL has all over the pitch, there has been reports that the Gunners have joined the chase alongside Chelsea, Man United and Tottenham in the hunt to try and sign Yan Diomande.
Diomande has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Bundesliga since joining RB Leipzig from CD Leganes this past summer. and he 19-year-old has been one of the most productive attackers for the Bundesliga club this season, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in 16 outings in all competitions thus far
Now the Gunners have been alerted to the fact that RB are open to letting Diomande leave the club in order to generate some income – RedBull director Oliver Mintzlaff told Sky: “You can’t let him go after just one year (…), but the truth is that there are also other top clubs out there (…) and we have to generate revenue.”

The money that is being talked about for Diomande is well over £80 million, he has been brilliant for the German side this season and his quality and age is why that valuation is so high.
We dont know if ARSENAL is the right move for the lad to make, they already have so many quality attacking players, but a move to the Premier League will surely happen for Diomande.
However – the way he plays, his style and the fact the Premier League is so tough for young stars, maybe a move to La Liga or France would suit his development more.
But if he is going to make a move to the Premier League, Arsenal would be a very good option to make as he will be given minutes to play.
DRO WANTS JANUARY MOVE
It has been claimed that ARSENAL are eyeing a move for Barcelona wonderkid Dro Fernandez, after the talented attacker told the Spanish giants that he wanted to leave the Camp Nou this transfer window.
At just 17, Dro made his senior debut in Barcelona’s 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad, a moment that not only signalled the arrival of a new star but also underlined the club’s determination to retain its most prized talents

For Dro himself, the first-team call-up was a dream realised. Hansi Flick placed him in the starting XI against Sociedad, and the youngster could not believe it. “I’m happy, very happy. It’s incredible. When they told me I’d be starting, I didn’t believe it at first, but then I calmed down,” Dro said.
He added, “The players and the coach reassured me, they told me to do what I do well in training, and that gave me confidence.” His 45-minute showing impressed those inside the Camp Nou, and Barcelona fans are already eager to see more of their new jewel’
However – it has not turned out like he would have hoped and reports have claimed the 18-year-old has told Barca he wants to leave the club this month and is set for a move abroad.
He is also available for an extremely cheap £5.2million due to his release clause in his contract, with reports claiming that could prove to be the bargain of the century if Dro goes on to believe the huge potential many believe he possesses.
IcFootballnews Says…
There are alot of clubs interest in Dro, he will have his options, so ARSENAL will have to beat off the likes of Chelsea and PSG for his signature. But Barcelona dont want to lose such an exciting player that they have big hopes for, this will be a massive blow.
£5 ,million is not alot of money these days and any club that gets him, will need to make sure he is given the game time to develop or we will not see Dro reach his full potential.
