5 things you didn’t know about Arsenal target Keita Balde Diao

19 years old, 5’11

Diao is just 19 but is as physically imposing as they come. He is a “big, strong boy” to borrow a phrase from most match day commentators and possesses excellent pace and power. He plays primarily as a central forward, and loves to run in behind the back line. He is cunning in an around the box and has goals in him with the right service. He never shies away from physicality either and is comfortable fighting for aerial balls.
