ARSENAL fans have claimed “we’re winning the league” as they close in on three major signings after leapfrogging Newcastle United.
The Gunners are yet to make their first signing of the summer but are reportedly edging closer to completing multiple transfers.
French winger Moussa Diaby is the latest target to emerge as a potential signing.
L’Equipe report that Arsenal have moved ahead of Newcastle in the race to sign the Bayer Leverkusen star.
Diaby is said to have changed his mind to now prefer a move to Arsenal in recent weeks, with the club now in pole position for his signature.
Newcastle have been targeting Diaby for the last 18 months and remain interested, although they have never been the player’s priority.
