Arsenal have made initial contact with Bayer Leverkusen over French winger Moussa Diaby, after missing out on Mykhailo Mudryk.
Leverkusen do not want to sell the 23-year-old mid-season, having quoted €100m (£88.5m) to interested clubs in the summer
Diaby's contract in Germany runs until the summer of 2025. He has been at Leverkusen since 2019, when he signed from boyhood side Paris Saint-Germain.
The winger has eight caps for France's national side, but missed out on their World Cup squad last year.
Arsenal are also keeping an eye on Raphinha's situation at Barcelona - though it's likely he will stay put in this window.
The Gunners had been close to securing a club-record transfer for Ukrainian winger Mudryk earlier in the January Transfer Window, but a late charge from Chelsea ended with the forward moving to Stamford Bridge instead.
