Arsenal Refocus Defensive Targets on Nathaniel Brown, Ousmane Diomande

Rival moves for earlier options prompted a shortlist reset consistent with Mikel Arteta’s profile-driven planning.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Arsenal have turned their attention to Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown and Sporting centre-back Ousmane Diomande.
  • Pursuing both is reported to require roughly £120m, with Diomande tied to a release clause near £70m and Brown valued around £50m.
  • The shift follows indications that Manchester City are moving for Marc Guehi and that Chelsea are progressing on Jeremy Jacquet.
  • These targets are described as fitting Arsenal’s preference for defenders who are comfortable in possession, adaptable in shape, and suited to a control-based approach.
  • The interest is framed as long-term squad building after a season of defensive injuries, with no signings agreed at this stage.
