Arsenal regularly scouting £42m gem Tottenham see as potential Cristian Romero long-term replacement

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have both had decent starts to the season, though it hasn’t been smooth sailing for either club.

 

The Gunners remain in the Premier League and Champions League picture, though they have suffered a downturn in form that has cost them points in both competitions.

Meanwhile, Spurs are lacking consistency, showing they can secure emphatic wins on their day but also falling to dismal defeats from time to time.

 

Both Arsenal and Tottenham could well look to the transfer market for reinforcements when the window reopens at the start of January.

 

In recent days, the Gunners have been linked with a £42million-rated defender who Spurs have in mind as a potential Cristian Romero replacement.

Arsenal scouting Tottenham target Ousmane Diomande

TBR Football can reveal that Arsenal have been watching Sporting CP’s Ousmane Diomande as part of their scouting on a regular basis.

 

Chelsea are also watching the 20-year-old defender regularly, while Liverpool and Newcastle United are fans too.

In addition, Tottenham have always liked Diomande, even before they snapped up Radu Dragusin from Genoa.

 

Indeed, Spurs see Diomande as a potential long-term replacement for Romero, who has been linked with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in recent months.

On Friday, Portuguese outlet Record reported that Arsenal and Chelsea have made approaches for Diomande, who is wanted by Bayern Munich.

 

However, those approaches have been denied and knocked back, with Bayern intensifying their efforts amid “serious” interest across the board.
