# Dortmund to imminently move for Arsenal target

Arsenal target Abdou Diallo is soon expected to be subject of a €20million bid from Borussia Dortmund, according to [GFFN](https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2018/borussia-dortmund-to-submit-e20m-abdou-diallo-bid-imminently/).

The Gunners were believed to be very interested in signing the young French defender, with with Arsenal’s Head of Recruitment Sven Mislintat a big fan of the Mainz centre-half.

However, L’Équipe are now reporting that Dortmund will imminently make a concrete move for the 22-year old, putting pressure on Arsenal and Unai Emery to act fast if they want to steal a march on Die Borussen.

It is also believed that Mainz are desperate to keep Diallo, and will likely reject Dortmund’s offer.
