Chelsea and Liverpool Show Interest in Leipzig Winger

Chelsea and Liverpool are among the Premier League clubs interested in signing RB Leipzig’s teenager Yan Diomande.

Diomande has quickly become a sought-after talent in Europe after a strong start to the season in Germany.

The 19-year-old scored a hat-trick in the second half as Leipzig defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 6-0 in the Bundesliga last weekend, drawing more attention to his skills.

He has netted six goals in nine league starts this season, leading the Bundesliga in successful take-ons. He also ranks second for progressive carries and carries into the penalty area.

Premier League clubs are keeping a close watch, with Spanish outlet Fichajes reporting that Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City are ready to compete for him.

Liverpool may look to acquire a winger in the January transfer window due to Mohamed Salah’s uncertain future and have shown interest in Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo as well.

🇨🇮 Just catching up on RB Leipzig’s game tonight, and Yan Diomande is a special player.

I actually think he’s one of those players you break all your recruitment models for.

Yes, the same size is small. But he’s a generational talent.

This kind of player doesn’t come… pic.twitter.com/hE9XYaLr3u

Leipzig is not looking to sell Diomande, who has been named in the Ivory Coast squad for the Africa Cup of Nations this month. However, they are aware of the significant interest in him and may consider offers above €80m (£69.8m).
