chelsea fcChelsea are one of the club’s interested in signing RB Leipzig teenage winger Yan Diomande, along with Liverpool.
The 19-year old Ivory Coast international has become one of the breakout stars of German football this season, and, at the weekend, became the second-youngest player in the history of the Bundesliga to score a hat-trick.
Manchester City are also reported to be tracking the progress of a player who has become known for his speed, ability to operate in tight spaces and a level of composure unusual in somebody so young.
Leipzig, though, are unwilling to let him go, and have tied the player down to a contract that runs until 2030. He has no release clause, and they have put a price tag of ₤70 million. They are hoping that this may be enough to deter his many suitors.
Diomande’s current salary, though, is very low, and he will know that he can earn considerably more with a Premier League side.
