Monday's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup: Seny Dieng, Alexandre Lacazette, William Saliba

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Arsenal on Monday, January 4.

The January transfer window is now open, with Arsenal continuing to be linked with a host of big names.

The Gunners have endured a torrid first half of the season and have been tipped to bolster their ranks this month - in addition to offloading out-of-favour players - in a bid to turn their campaign around.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings at the Emirates Stadium.

Monday morning's Arsenal transfer talk news roundup:


Arsenal 'interested in Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Seny Dieng'

Arsenal are reportedly 'tracking' Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Seny Dieng.

The 26-year-old has been with QPR since 2016 but has recently spent time out on loan with the likes of Stevenage, Dundee and Doncaster Rovers.

The Swiss has been the Championship club's number one stopper this term, though, making 20 appearances, and according to The Sun, Arsenal are keeping a close eye on his performances.

The report claims that Dieng's displays for Mark Warburton's team have caught the attention of the Gunners, while Leeds United and Crystal Palace have also been named as admirers.

All three clubs are allegedly keen to strengthen their goalkeeping departments ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

Dieng has kept four clean sheets in 20 Championship outings during the current season.



William Saliba 'wants to leave Arsenal'

Arsenal outcast William Saliba is reportedly desperate to leave the club as he struggles for game time under Mikel Arteta.

The former Saint-Etienne man is yet to make a competitive appearance for the Gunners as he sits behind the likes of Gabriel, Rob Holding, David Luiz and Pablo Mari in the Emirates pecking order.

Saliba - who is being tipped to head out on loan this month - has been restricted to appearances for the youth teams in the 2020-21 campaign and recently claimed to have been "locked up" in the English capital.

According to L'Equipe, the 19-year-old is now keen to head for the Emirates exit door in search of more regular first-team action, and the centre-back would not be short of offers in the January transfer window.

The report claims that teams in the Netherlands, Germany, France and England are all keeping a close eye on developments, but it remains to be seen if Arsenal would only sanction a loan exit or a permanent departure.

Saliba penned a deal with the Gunners until the end of the 2023-24 season when he signed for the club in 2019.
