The 19-year-old winger was the standout player on the night and regularly found joy against an Ecuador defense consisting of Premier League and Champions League winners.Diomande created the most chances (five) and had the most touches in the opposition box (12) of any player and constantly put his opposition under pressure by using his lightning-quick pace and exquisite dribbling ability.
It comes as a forgotten Liverpool man cut his summer short to immediately work with Andoni Iraola.Priced as high as $150 million to sign, Diomande’s link to Liverpool is heating up even more than it already was before his breakout showing.That is largely thanks to Ivory Coast manager Emerse Fae, who joked after the game that journalists in the United States have already told him Diomande will sign for Liverpool this summer.If anything, his performance will put even more pressure on the Reds to get a deal done with PSG, reportedly, after the RB Leipzig winger as well.The latest transfer odds following Sunday’s World Cup action suggest Liverpool is in the driver’s seat to sign Diomande. Andoni Iraola’s side carries -300 odds to win his signature, ahead of his current club, RB Leipzig (+400) and PSG (+500).Diomande won the Superior Player of the Match award(Image: Photo by Joosep Martinson - FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images)Manchester City (+1400), Manchester United (+1600), Arsenal (+2000), and Chelsea (+2000) are long shots to sign the teenage phenom.Given his exorbitant price tag, there are realistically only a few clubs in the world that can afford to offer what Leipzig is looking for.
Reds fans will be excited at the prospect of pairing him with Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, both of whom also starred at the World Cup over the weekend, under new manager Iraola.Unlike other summer transfer windows, Liverpool may have to wait until after the World Cup to finalize a transfer for Diomande.The Ivorian has been tabbed as one of the most promising young attackers in the world after his breakout season in Germany, where he scored 13 goals and provided nine assists in 36 appearances across all competitions.This information is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be relied upon for financial reasons or to determine a specific course of action.
