Liverpool reportedly see Yan Diomande as predominantly playing in Mohamed Salah’s right wing position if they sign him this summer.The Reds have installed Diomande as a top target as they look to add more pace and threat to their wide forward positions after a disappointing season.The Ivorian has largely featured on the right for RB Leipzig since his breakthrough last autumn, and according to journalist Ben Jacobs, though others have a different view on him, Liverpool see Diomande as filling this role for them as well.
