Liverpool Are In The Running To Sign This Bundesliga Winger: Should Slot Go For Him?

In a recent report, The Telegraph (subscription required) claimed that Liverpool are in the running to sign Red Bull Leipzig winger Yan Diomande. It has been revealed that the Reds would have to rival Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign the Ivory Coast wide player next summer.

Diomande’s Impressive Form In German Football

Diomande is having a productive campaign at the German club as he has put in a series of impressive performances for them on the left flank. The 19-year-old has scored nine goals and secured seven assists in 25 matches for RB Leipzig this season across various competitions.

The Ivory Coast talent is currently among the best young wingers in German football. Therefore, Liverpool would do well to win the race for his services in this summer transfer window.

His current deal at the Red Bull Arena will run out in the summer of 2030. Hence, the Reds would have to launch a convincing offer if they want to land him this off-season.

Should Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Go For Diomande?

Diomande is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and has got the eye to play some decisive passes on the offensive end of the field. He can shoot the ball with power from long range and can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from the wide areas.

The Ivory Coast sensation is primarily a left-winger but can also operate as a right-sided wide player if asked to do so. However, there are some concerns over whether he can adapt to the physicality and high intensity of the Premier League if the Reds manage to move in for him later this year.

Diomande would add more firepower to Liverpool boss Arne Slot’s attack. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Merseyside club in the coming seasons.

At 19, Diomande has got the ceiling to be a future star in English football as long as he continues to improve with each year. With all things considered, Slot would be wise to go for a player of his skill set as he would be an ideal long-term successor to Mohamed Salah at Liverpool.
