Who is more likely to get the deal done—Chelsea or Arsenal?
Currently, Arsenal are a more stable team with a stronger defensive structure compared to Chelsea. Their defense is one of the best in the Premier League and across Europe’s top five leagues. Adding a player of Diomande’s caliber would further strengthen their squad depth and overall quality.
Chelsea, on the other hand, are still in the process of building a long-term project, and it will take time for them to reach Arsenal’s level of stability. However Chelsea have a very interesting project and , have a history of outbidding Arsenal in transfer battles, and their ambitious project could be attractive to a young talent like Diomande.
Additionally, the Ivory Coast international would likely get more playing time at Chelsea compared to Arsenal, where defensive competition is fierce.
