Arsenal are preparing a £20 million summer bid for Werder Bremen attacking midfielder Diego. (Daily Mirror)
The Brazilian international has been linked with several moves to the Premier League in recent months as speculation mounts he will leave Bremen in the summer.
The 23-year old has been at bremen for over two years now since joining from Portuguese side FC Porto. He has over 30 caps for Brazil and is widely regarded as one of the Bundesliga's best players.
I personally would love to see Diego in the Premier League. He is a terrific talent that undoubtedly prove to be a tremendous signing for Arsene Wenger's side if he does indeed sign for them.

Arsenal and Liverpool are to fight it out for the signature of Marseille attacking midfielder Samir Nasri after the French club confirmed they may listen to offers. (Press Association)
The French international has been linked with a move to the Premier League for months now. The 20-year old is widely regarded as one of Europe's hottest properties.
Both Arsene Wenger and Rafa Benitez are said to be very keen on bringing to the player to their respective clubs this summer but it is likely to set them back at least £20 million.
Nasri is a terrific player with a lot of potential. He has made over 100 appearances for Marseille, has over a dozen caps for his country and is still on 20-year's old.

Liverpool to launch £10 million bid for French ace
Liverpool are to launch a £10 million bid for Chelsea winger Florent Malouda. (the sun)
The French international has had a poor first season in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge which has led to speculation he will move abroad.
But it appears as though now that Rafa Benitez is keen o bring him to Anfield. Liverpool were supposedly interested in the 27-year old before he joined Chelsea last summer.
I personally can't see why Benitez would wast £10 million on a player like Malouda. I am sure many Liverpool fans will agree with me when I say, Liverpool should not go for Malouda.
Arsenal ace urges fellow Spaniard to join Gunners
Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas has today urged fellow Spanish international David Villa to join him at the Emirates. (epping forest guardian)
Villa has been linked with several moves to the Premier League in recent weeks after it was rumoured that he wants to leave Valencia this summer.
The 26-year old is widely regarded as one of Europe's top strikers and is currently valued around the £25 million mark.
I personally would love to see Villa in the Premier League. He is a terrific talent that scores bags of goals and I'm sure many Gunners fans would be delighted to see Wenger splash out on the striker.

Spurs line up £20 million of English talent
Tottenham are lining up summer moves for Blackburn midfielder David Bentley and Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart. (Sun, Daily Mail)
Bentley has been a long term target of Spurs manager Juande Ramos and the rumours have strengthened in recent months that the player will leave Ewood Park this summer.
The England international is also wanted by Newcastle and Liverpool but it is thought that the 23-year old would like a move south.
Meanwhile, Joe Hart is the latest goalkeeper to be linked with a move to White Hart Lane. There is no secret that Ramos is on the look out for a new goalkeeper, with the average form of both Robinson and Cerny.
It is likely Spurs will have to splash out around the £20 million mark for the pair and in my book that would be a terrific deal. Both are young and both will be regulars in the England team in years to come so that can only be good.
United eye £25 million Chelsea target
Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing Sevilla defender Daniel Alves after the player admitted he may leave the club in the summer. (teamtalk.com)
Alves, 25, has been a long term target of Chelsea's Avram Grant as well as many other top European clubs.
The Brazilian international is widely regarded as one of Europe's best defenders and is currently valued at around the £25 million mark.
I personally would love to see Alves in the Premier League. He is a terrific right-back that is certainly not afraid to get forward. United, in my view, would be receiving a tremendous talent if they do sign Alves.

Owen set for return to Merseyside?
Newcastle United striker Michael Owen may quit the club at the end of the season if they try to cut his wages, alerting the attentions of Everton. (Daily Mail)
Owen, 28, spent several years at Everton's Merseyside rivals Liverpool and has been linked with a move back to Anfield in the past.
Owen has struggled to show anything like the kind of form he did at Liverpool at St James' Park which has led to intense speculation he may leave the club this summer.
The England international is apparently about to be offered a new deal at Newcastle but their is talk that the club will significantly lower his wages, something which Owen isn't to pleased about.
I personally don't see Owen leaving the Magpies in the summer but stranger things have happened. Their is no doubt, on his day, Owen is one of the best strikers in Europe but unfortunately for him it hasn't quite happened in recent years.
United close in on next "Ronaldo" !
West Ham are hopeful of signing Juventus striker Davide Lanzafame this Summer according to reports on Sky Sports today.
The 21 year old came through the Turin side's youth system and caught the eye of former Juve star Anontio Conte, who took the youngster on loan at the current side he is managing, Bari. He bagged 10 goals in 33 appearances for the Serie B outfit, earning for himself a call up to the Italian U 21 team.
Conte has said in the media that "If he improves and learns he can become like Cristiano Ronaldo." The Hammers look set to sign the young starlet on a season long loan, should it be successful they will make a bid for the Italian to keep him at Upton Park on a permanent basis.
