Diarra For Arsenal?
ChelseaÂ’s tough tackling defensive midfielder Lassana Diarra could join Arsenal this week according to the Daily Mirror.
Reports suggest that the 22-year-old will is set to join the Gunners’ French contingent for around £2million.
Although playing fairly frequently for Chelsea towards the end of last season, he does not seem to be in manager Jose MourinhoÂ’s plans for the future.
There is already ample cover for the defensive midfield role at Arsenal with Gilberto Silva, Cesc Fabregas, Abou Diaby, Denilson and Mathieu Flamini all capable of filling the role, so a move for Diarra would be seen as unlikely.
Chelsea never lost a match last season when Diarra was featured and he has been touted as the new Makalele, but the player is entering the final year of his contract and may move elsewhere in search of first team football, although this would not be guaranteed at Arsenal. -
NOOOOOO.
hmm i didn't know that there was a unbeaten record with him.

Very weird, does Moruinho wants him to go to Arsenal?
Cheers.

If Diarra rejects a contract from Chelsea, there will be no way Mourinho can stop him
Diarra would be a great replacement for Gilberto Silva -
he is quite good.

Gunners line up Diarra deal
Skysports.com understands Arsenal are lining up a move for Chelsea's Lassana Diarra.
Diarra is believed to have informed Chelsea of his desire to leave Stamford Bridge and Arsenal are ready to offer him a move to Emirates Stadium.
The French international is believed to be unhappy with his lack of first-team action at Chelsea and he is well down the pecking order in Jose Mourinho's plans.

The news has alerted Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger who is a big fan of the young midfielder.
The two London rivals are understood to be in talks over a deal and the player is keen on securing a switch to North London as he searches for regular first-team football. -
