Arsenal target Moussa Diaby performs impressive assist
Freiburg manager Christian Streich previously admitted he was "afraid" of facing Arsenal target Moussa Diaby. Reports suggest the Gunners have contacted Diaby's agent as Mikel Arteta is determined to strengthen his attack amid all the uncertainty surrounding the future of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
The winger is enjoying an impressive debut season at Bayer Leverkusen where he has recorded five goals and eight assists in 27 appearances across all competitions this season.
The 20-year-old created two goals on Monday when the Bundesliga restarted and helped Leverkusen beat Werder Bremen 4-1 at the Weser-Stadion.
According to Leverkusen's official website, the young Frenchman has left such an everlasting impression in the league that Freiburg boss Streich admitted that he didn't want him on the pitch against his team when they faced off in November.
The German manager's team picked up a 1-1 draw against Leverkusen at the BayArena but Diaby had posed as a serious threat following his exploits against Wolfsburg two weeks prior.

Diaby decided to join Leverkusen because he was attracted by the challenge to play and learn in one of the best competitions in the world.
The France Under-21 international also wanted to play in the Champions League, which was an opportunity he struggled to get at PSG.
Diaby said after signing with the club: "Taking this step abroad to one of the best and most balanced leagues in Europe is really exciting.
"I'm very curious about Germany, especially the football and the amazing stadiums. And obviously, it's great to be in the Champions League with Leverkusen too."
