  Newcastle United have enquired about the possible availability of Arsenal midfielder Lassana Diarra.
  
  The talented 22-year-old, already a regular with the France national side, has found opportunities more limited at Emirates Stadium.
  
  Diarra only moved to Arsenal during the final hours of the summer transfer window but has grown disgruntled at a lack of playing time.
  
  North London rivals Tottenham were mooted as possible contenders for his signature, as were Portsmouth, but it is Newcastle who have stolen a march on their rivals.
  
  Attracting interest
  
  Newcastle's disappointing first half of the season has only heightened a desire for fresh faces and should Arsenal be willing to do business, Diarra's capture would be regarded as a notable coup.
  
  Sam Allardyce has yet to put in a formal offer but is believed to have made a firm enquiry.
  
  Should Diarra move to Newcastle then Allardyce may elect to offload Emre, who has been linked with a switch to Monaco in the French press.
  
  The Principality outfit are reportedly also admirers of Manchester City's Gelson Fernandes, but see Emre as a more realistic option.

  *Lyon admit Diarra interest*
  
  Ligue 1 champions Lyon have admitted their interest in Arsenal's Lassana Diarra, although they hold little hope of landing the France international.
  
  The former Chelsea midfielder could leave the Emirates due to a lack of first-team football and has been linked with moves to Newcastle and Monaco.
  
  Magpies boss Sam Allardyce is believed to have enquired whether Diarra is available and now Lyon have confirmed their interest in the hard-working midfielder.
  
  However, Lyon believe the 22-year-old is keen to remain in England rather than return to French football.
  
  "He is a player that interests us," confirmed Bernard Lacombe, a special advisor to Les Gones president Jean-Michel Aulas, on the club's official website.
  
  "As far as he (Diarra) is concerned, he does not seem to have a great desire to return to the French championship.
  
  "If he leaves Arsenal, he will certainly stay in England."
