Yan Diomande has been linked with a move away from RB Leipzig, with Liverpool interested in signing him in the summer transfer window.
Yan Diomande has been one of the brightest sparks in the Bundesliga this season, and he has been outstanding for the German club. He has attracted the attention of Premier League champions Liverpool, and they are hoping to sign him.
It is no secret that they need more quality on the flanks. They have struggled since Luis Diaz’s departure. They need someone who can take on defenders and beat them in one-on-one situations. They need to add more flair and unpredictability in the final third. The Ivorian attacker could prove to be the ideal long-term acquisition for them.
He has proved himself in Germany, and he has the technical attributes for English football as well. The player has previously admitted he is a boyhood Liverpool fan, which will certainly serve as further encouragement for the Premier League champions to get the deal done.
However, reports have confirmed that a deal is far from complete. It remains to be seen whether Liverpool can get the deal across the line quickly.
“As it stands nothing is agreed. The only thing we currently know is that Yan is determined to help Leipzig finish in the top-four before then focussing on the World Cup with Ivory Coast. There is no denying the interest, nobody has. But let’s see how the coming months pan out,” a source close to Diomande’s camp told TEAMtalk.
Where will Diomande end up?
The player has been linked with multiple clubs in recent months. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United have all watched the winger, along with Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris Saint-Germain.
He is likely to have his pick of top clubs in the summer. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. He should look to join a club that offers regular opportunities to compete at the highest level. Sitting on the bench at a big club would be detrimental to his development
