Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are leading the race to sign RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande.
That’s at least what journalist Sacha Tavolieri is reporting in his column for Sky Sport CH.
He claims the 19-year-old has ended up on the radars of Tottenham, Liverpool and Barcelona.
The Europa League winners have been monitoring the winger in recent months. His profile particularly appeals to Thomas Frank, who is looking to improve Spurs’ attack.
Liverpool are also in the picture to sign the Ivory Coast international. Tavolieri states the Reds see him as a ‘serious option to bring freshness’ to their attack.
Tottenham and Liverpool are currently in pole position and have already made approaches to sign him. According to the journalist, Spurs and Arne Slot’s side are in ‘very advanced contact’ with the youngster’s agent.
Diomande joined the German club from Leganés in July and signed a five-year contract.
Tavolieri reports Leipzig, who are calm, are keeping a close eye on the developments around the young attacker. They haven’t yet started negotiations for his potential sale.
Barcelona have also shown interest in the Ivorian. At this moment in time, they haven’t gone beyond ‘exploratory calls’.
