Toon target Gunners star !

Newcastle are supposedly set to enquire about Arsenal star Lassana Diarra according to reports on Sky Sports today.

The 22 year old has struggled to get his place for the London side since joining last year and has in fact made more appearances for his home nation of France than he has for Arsenal. From the rare performances he gets at Arsenal, normally cup matches, you can see that he does have a lot of ability.

I think a move to St. James would be a good move for Diarra but I think that his rumoured price tag of around £9 million may be asking a bit much for someone who has such little Premier League experience.
