We're always wary of reports on good old Teamtalk, especially when they put the word 'reportedly' in their reports.

But their Sunday scoop is that Arsenal have taken Torino's former Monaco (oh yes?) defender, Dijbril Diawara (we think that's the right spelling!) on a week's trial, with a view to a permanent move. He's already attracted interest from Sunderland and both Glasgow sides... but, we can't help noticing, not enough interest to earn him a transfer.

Arseweb is keen to point out that the number 27 slot on our teamsheet remains empty, following the departure of our previous Diawara... there may yet be life in that old replica jersey yet, Kaba fans!
