Arsenal and Tottenham keen on Brahim Diaz
According to a report from Sports Boom, Arsenal and Tottenham are very interested in signing the “match-winner”, and an offer of around €45 million could get the deal done. The two London clubs are very serious about securing his signature, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. Brentford and Crystal Palace are also interested in the AFCON Golden Boot winner.
Liverpool have also been linked with the player recently.
The report claims that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is an admirer of Diaz, and Arsenal are preparing an offer of €35 million plus bonuses to sign the player.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham follows up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the player. They wanted to sign Diaz when Thomas Frank was in charge as well.
Diaz would be a superb addition
Both clubs need more quality in the final third, and the 26-year-old is a dynamic attacker who can slot into multiple roles and help them improve. His ability to create chances and find the back of the net makes him a very handy asset.
The opportunity to play regularly in the Premier League could be exciting for the Moroccan. He will not want to sit on the Real Madrid bench as a squad option. He is at the peak of his career, and he needs more gametime. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few months.
