Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur want RB Leipzig midfielder Yan Diomande | OneFootball

Liverpool are in advanced talks with the representatives of RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Yan Diomande, according to Sky Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri.

Manager Arne Slot is desperate to rebuild his attack, and the 19-year-old Ivory Coast international is on his radar. The Reds face competition from Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool could do with a boost in the final third following their struggles this term, and they see the Leipzig star as a serious option to bring much-needed energy and flair to the attack.

However, the Bundesliga club want €100 million for him next summer, and Liverpool are unlikely to meet their lofty demands.

Mohamed Salah has lost his form this term, and selling Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich during the last summer transfer window was a mistake.

Diomande is primarily a left winger, but he can also feature on the right and through the middle. He has bagged four goals and four assists in 14 games this term.

The Liverpool target notched two goals and one assist in ten La Liga appearances for Leganes last term, prompting Leipzig to trigger his €20m release clause.

His explosiveness, pace and dribbling are qualities the Reds could do with in an attacker as they start preparing for life without Salah.

The 33-year-old has tallied five goals and three assists in 17 games across the Champions League and Premier League this term.

However, he was dropped against West Ham United last weekend after a recent dip in form, and Liverpool could be open to selling him at the end of the season.
