Sporting CP are sweating over the future of centre-back Ousmane Diomande amid transfer interest from Arsenal and Chelsea, a report has claimed.
Diomande, 21, has long been linked with a move to the Premier League, but interest in his services is ramping up as he approaches the final two years of his contract in Portugal.
His impressive performances for Sporting have been followed by a number of sides across Europe. claim scouts from Arsenal were in the stands for Saturday‘s 1–1 draw with Benfica to keep a watchful eye on Diomande.
The Gunners are by no means alone in their admiration of Diomande. Chelsea have been heavily linked with the centre-back over the past year as they prepare to bolster at the back, while Brighton & Hove Albion have emerged as rival suitors.
In mainland Europe, Diomande is also on the radar of Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, who explored a deal for the Ivory Coast international during the January transfer window.
