Chelsea’s recruitment team has reportedly identified RB Leipzig sensation Yan Diomande as a potential attacking addition — and it’s easy to see why the 19-year-old is attracting attention from Stamford Bridge, according to reporter Iomie Stanley.
Despite all the quality that CHELSEA has all over the pitch, there has been reports that the Blues have joined the chase alongside Arsenal, Man United and Tottenham in the hunt to try and sign Yan Diomande.
Diomande has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Bundesliga since joining RB Leipzig from CD Leganes this past summer. and he 19-year-old has been one of the most productive attackers for the Bundesliga club this season, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in 16 outings in all competitions thus far.
But according to The Athletic, a fee of £86million may be required to sign Diomande in the coming windows, and Furthermore, as Leipzig have no intention of allowing Diomande to leave, it will take a very large offer for them to consider a winter sale as his contract expires in 2030.
And according to reporter Iomie Stanley, Diomande would bring alot to that Chelsea side, he told icfootballnews: ‘Dynamic, explosive, and increasingly decisive in the final third, Diomande possesses a profile that fits neatly into Chelsea’s long-term squad-building strategy.
Diomande is the kind of forward CHELSEA have lacked since the departures of Eden Hazard and, more recently, Christian Pulisic. Naturally comfortable on either wing, he combines electric acceleration, smooth ball control, and the ability to beat defenders both inside and out.
‘His style aligns with Chelsea’s need for a winger who Carries the ball progressively, Creates isolation opportunities in wide channels, Breaks defensive blocks with direct dribbling, Adds pace to transitions.
‘For a side often criticised for slow, predictable build-up play, Diomande would bring immediacy and unpredictability.
‘While Diomande would require significant investment, Chelsea have shown they are willing to pay premium fees for elite potential. In return, they would gain A winger capable of changing games immediately, A long-term attacking cornerstone.
‘If CHELSEA want to strengthen their attack with both impact and upside, Yan Diomande stands out as one of the most exciting options available.’
