Liverpool are again on the offensive (we disregard the almost-peel in the FA Cup against Barnsley), again it can be pointed towards the hottest players in the transfer market. Now it is reported that the signing of the winger, who could replace Mo Salah on the right or Cody Gakpo on the left, is served.
Teamtalk’s “transfer insider” reported in early December that Liverpool are following Yan Diomande very closely, the 19-year-old is a nightmare for defenders with his explosive speed and amazing dribbling skills, while his finishing is constantly improving. With a very special versatility, he can either be Mo Salah’s successor on the right wing or replace Cody Gakpo on the left wing.

Diomande joined Leipzig from Spanish club Leganes in July, but has already distinguished himself as one of the Bundesliga’s most exciting wingers. Right-footed, but can play on both flanks, seven goals with four assists in 17 games so far this season.
A bunch of clubs are on to secure the teenager, Tottenham have already had a bid rejected, along with Liverpool, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are following the situation closely.
Perhaps no wonder, when Red Bull see the Ivorian player as their greatest talent since Erling Haaland.
According to hyperactive transfer journalist Romano, Liverpool are now getting a boost in their pursuit of Yan Diomande.
-If you think Yan Diomande will move this summer? Yes. If you ask me if Diomande will move in January? I think this is going to be complicated because Leipzig already made big money this summer. They don’t need money now,” says the journalist on YouTube.
But that is, for the summer.
Liverpool are in pole position, after the 19-year-old himself stated: “I want to play at Anfield, I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a big Liverpool fan. My dad’s dream is to see me play for Liverpool.”
If Liverpool add up the expected amount of up to 120 million euros, this should be in the box.
The right wing, the left wing. With a 19-year-old already delivering in one of the toughest leagues and entering Liverpool’s eminent training, this could be a brilliant signing of “greatest talent since Haaland” for Liverpool.
