Arsène Wenger Considers New Contract for Abou Diaby
Despite an injury-plagued career, Abou Diaby remains a player highly valued by Arsène Wenger, who is reportedly considering offering the French midfielder a contract extension at Arsenal.
Wenger confirmed his position recently, stating:
“If he’s fully fit, he’ll get a new contract.”
Diaby, who joined Arsenal from AJ Auxerre in 2006, has shown flashes of brilliance over the years, but his development has been repeatedly hampered by serious injuries. Still, his technical skill and versatility continue to earn him the admiration of his long-time manager.
Now on his way back to training, the 28-year-old midfielder has a chance to prove his fitness and reignite his career in North London.
For Wenger—himself under pressure from fans and media amid mixed results—the decision to back Diaby is part loyalty, part hope that the talented midfielder can finally overcome his physical setbacks and contribute to the Gunners’ ambitions.
