Arsenal keep close tabs on Sporting CP defender Ousmane Diomande

Sporting CP starlet Ousmane Diomande is being regarded as the next big thing in the sport.

The 19-year-old has been linked with a move to Premier League giants Arsenal.

Per Record in Portugal, the young centre back is a top target for several clubs ahead of next summer.

Diomande played 34 times for Sporting last term, despite his tender age, showcasing his first team credentials.

While the 19-year-old is a huge prospect, clubs may be put off by his price tag.

Diomande has a £69 million release clause within his contract with Sporting at present.
