Arsenal are in talks to sign Roma midfielder Amadou Diawara.
The Daily Express says Arsenal are edging closer to signing £27million Roma midfielder Diawara.
The Serie A side are keen to offload some stars in order to fund their own spending spree and Diawara is one they are reportedly happy to let go.
Mikel Arteta's No1 midfield target was Atletico Madrid's Thomas Partey but the North Londoners are unwilling to to meet his £45m release clause.
But he could now turn his attention to holding midfielder Diawara, 23, with Roma willing to sell.
