Liverpool are continuing their efforts to sign RB Leipzig’s brilliant young winger Yan Diomande, with Andoni Iraola emerging as the new driving force behind the potential blockbuster transfer, TEAMtalk understands.
The 19-year-old Ivorian has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the past 12 months, impressing hugely during his debut Bundesliga season before delivering a masterclass performance for Ivory Coast in their 1-0 victory over Ecuador at the World Cup.
Diomande’s display in Philadelphia – creating five chances, completing four successful dribbles, and winning 11 duels – has further elevated his status – and has underlined Liverpool’s desperation to bring him to Anfield.
