**Liverpool are rumoured to have an agreement with RB Leipzig Yan Diomande ahead of a potential £88million move to Anfield this summer.**
The 19-year-old has become one of the most spoken about wingers in the world of football, and if recent claims are accurate, he will become the latest top attacker to join Arne Slot’s project.
While Slot is under pressure to perform, he could sign Diomande at the end of the season.
An insider claims Bayern Munich believe Liverpool have a personal terms agreement with Diomande, and quotes from the young forward now suggest his mentality is perfect for the Merseysiders.
Diomande’s mentality is perfect for Liverpool
---------------------------------------------
Diomande opted to join CD Leganes in La Liga over a lucrative offer to join Chelsea and since his move to RB Leipzig, he has been vindicated.
This season, the Ivorian has nine goals and seven assists. While those are impressive numbers, more impressive is his approach play. Few defenders in the Bundesliga are equipped to deal with him and he’s still a teenager.
Discussing his decision to reject Chelsea in favour of Leganes, Diomande said: “_A lot of people told me I absolutely had to play for Chelsea. Then I stopped everything and made a decision for myself._
_“I knew the president of Leganes; he had helped with my move to the USA. Suddenly, I was faced with a choice: Leganes or Chelsea? It was risky, but luckily, it was the right decision. I think patience is very important in football. It’s not always just about money._
_“If you play well, it will come naturally. I’m young; I need to play to increase my sporting value, to improve. And I wouldn’t get that on the bench.”_

Rio Ngumoha’s cameo against Nottingham Forest underlined Liverpool’s need for more wingers who excel in 1v1 situations. Mohamed Salah is not the forward he was last season, by all appearances, while Cody Gakpo has become too predictable for the Premier League.
Diomande, however, is anything but predictable and would give Liverpool a dimension they currently lack.
