Everton eye Lassana Diarra

Arsenal's unsettled young French midfielder Lassana Diarra could be set to move from one Premiership club to another as Everton boss David Moyes could make a £2.5 million offer for the former Chelsea man.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger will not stand in Diarra's way if he wants to go - but urged him to stay and fight for his place.

The France international joined Arsenal in August for £2m after becoming frustrated at failing to establish himself in the starting line-up at Chelsea.

Wenger regards Diarra as having huge potential, but is unlikely to try to keep an unhappy player.

That has alerted Moyes who aims to strengthen his midfield and believes he could get Diarra on the cheap if Arsenal are prepared to sell.
