Is Diame on his way to Arsenal?

West Ham United v Chelsea - Premier League

Reports suggest that while Jack Wilshere was busy helping the Gunners on their way to a 1-0 victory over Swansea, their scouts were over at Old Trafford to watch West Ham and Mohamed Diame take on Manchester United in the 3rd Round FA Cup replay.

Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger said: “Once we’ve closed the [Theo] Walcott deal we will certainly do something else. I can’t tell you more. We have improvements to make.”

The former Wigan midfelder has been in fine from this season and was again impressive in his 65-minute run-out last night.

Known to be injury-prone however, the Senegal international who has a 3.5m pound release cause has also attracted the attention from the likes of Chelsea, Fulham and Everton.

Arsenal are said to be looking for midfield cover with Mikel Arteta injured, Aaron Ramsey trying to find some from and Abou Diaby returning to full fitness.
