Arsenal and Chelsea In Pursuit of 23years old Playmaker.

In recent transfer news, Premier League giants Arsenal and Chelsea are reportedly eyeing Real Madrid’s attacking midfielder Brahim Diaz, who is currently on loan at Italian club AC Milan.

Despite Diaz’s relatively modest record of 5 goals and 2 assists in 31 appearances for Milan, the 23-year-old Spaniard has steadily built a reputation as a promising playmaker.

However, respected football journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Madrid is considering extending Diaz’s loan deal in the coming months.

Interestingly, Diaz has previously worked with Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta during his time at Manchester City, and the Gunners are reportedly keen to leverage this connection in their pursuit of the talented youngster. Moreover, Arsenal has maintained a positive relationship with Madrid over the years, which could potentially work in their favor.

Meanwhile, Chelsea is also said to be on the lookout for a new playmaker and has Diaz on their list of potential replacements for Mason Mount, in the event that the English international leaves the club.
