Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the highly rated RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande.
According to Sky Sports, Tottenham face competition from Liverpool and Barcelona for the player. Tottenham and Liverpool have held “very advanced” talks with the player’s representatives regarding a potential move.
Tottenham eyeing Yan Diomande
Apparently, Thomas Frank is keen on signing Diomande to improve his attacking unit. It will be interesting to see if the North London club follow up on their enquiry with an official proposal to get the deal done.
They need more quality on the flanks, and Diomande could be the ideal acquisition. He will add pace, flair, and unpredictability to the side. The opportunity to move to England will be quite exciting for the young attacker as well. It would be a huge step up in his career, and he would get to test himself at the highest level.
Barcelona also keen on Diomande
Meanwhile, Barcelona will be hoping to sign the player as well. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and any player will be attracted to the idea of joining them. Tottenham must act quickly if they want to win the race for his signature.
The 19-year-old has eight goal contributions this season, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a top-class attacker with the right guidance. If Tottenham can sign him for a reasonable amount of money, the deal could look like a masterstroke in the long run.
The player has a contract with the German club until 2030, and they are under no pressure to sell him right now. They will look to recoup as much as possible for the player. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
