Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur want RB Leipzig midfielder Yan Diomande

Liverpool are in advanced talks with the representatives of RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Yan Diomande, according to Sky Sports Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri. Liverpool manager Arne Slot is desperate to rebuild his attack at the Anfield club, and the 19-year-old Ivory Coast international is on his radar. The Reds are in very advanced talks with the entourage of Diomande, but they will face competition from Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool could do with a boost in the final third following their struggles this term, and they see the Leipzig star as a serious option to bring much-needed energy and flair to the attack. However, the Bundesliga club want €100 million from suitors next summer, and whether the Merseyside club are ready to splash the cash on a teenager unproven in the Premier League remains to be seen.

Mohamed Salah has lost his form this term, and selling Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich during the last summer transfer window is starting to look like a mistake.

Diomande is primarily a left winger but he can also feature on the right and through the middle, and he has four goals and four assists in 14 games this term.
