Arsenal face pressure as rivals move for Yan Diomande
Arsenal may face fresh competition in their interest in RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande, as reports in Spain claim Liverpool have entered the race.
The teenager has impressed in the Bundesliga, and several European clubs now see him as a major talent with room to grow.
Liverpool push strongly for a new wide forward
Fichajes state that Liverpool are ready to make a major move for Diomande. Their plan is to bring in an attacker who fits their long term project.
The report adds that the club see the Ivorian as a strong option who can ease the pressure on their forward line.
Liverpool have reached a sensitive point with Mohamed Salah. His future has become less certain in recent weeks, and his recent interview made things worse.
The club believe they may need to prepare for life after him. Their aim is to set up a smooth change when the time comes, and Diomande is viewed as a player who can help that move.
Diomande has shown his quality at a young age. Managers admire his direct style, which makes him a threat in most attacks. Leipzig have used him on both sides, which gives clubs more options with him.
Arsenal must decide on their long term plan
Arsenal have followed the winger for some time. The club want to improve the left side of their attack, and Diomande fits their plans.
His form this season has pushed him towards the top level, and his value continues to rise. But Liverpool’s strong interest may force Arsenal to act quickly if they want to stay in the race.
The teenager has enjoyed a bright season with Leipzig. He has played fifteen matches in all competitions, where he has scored seven goals and supplied four assists.
There is also interest from Manchester City. Their scouts admire his awareness in tight spaces and his control in wide areas.
This rising attention only increases pressure on clubs who want him. The report adds that his representatives are open to a move to England. Leipzig have not ruled out a sale, but only under the right terms.
They would consider letting him go if a strong offer arrives from the Premier League with the Bundesliga giants wanting around £88m [€100m], as per the report.
If a club meets the conditions set by Leipzig, an agreement should follow with little delay.
Diomande has become one of the brightest teenagers in Europe, and the battle for his signature is now set to grow as the season continues.
