Yan Diomandé, the Ivorian talent making Liverpool dream

Everything has happened quickly for Diomandé. Discovered in Spain with Leganés, where he showed great promise last spring, he took a major step forward this summer by joining the Bundesliga. Under contract until 2030, he quickly earned his spot at Leipzig. His stats speak for themselves: 7 goals and 4 assists in 18 matches. Performances like these naturally attract the attention of Europe's top clubs.

According to CaughtOffside, Liverpool are currently leading the chase. The Reds are expected to make a move soon, especially since the player has never hidden his love for the Anfield club. "Playing for Liverpool is a dream. I have always been a fan of the club," he recently admitted.

But the race is far from over. Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, PSG, and Bayern Munich are all keeping a close eye on the Ivorian starlet.
