SportFootballLiverpool FCLiverpool are poised to target new signings on the wing following the departure of Mohamed Salah and RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande is among those on their shortlistLiverpool are eyeing up several players as they seek to fill the void left by Mohamed Salah with RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande high on their wishlist.The winger has continued to flourish in Germany, attracting plenty of attention, and the Reds see him as an ideal replacement on their right flank. Salah leaves as the club's third greatest goalscorer ever and whilst his last year was underwhelming, he will remain a huge presence that needs replacing.Diomande, who is just 19 but already had nine caps for the Ivory Coast, had 23 goal involvements over the last campaign and has a release clause of around £86million.Leipzig's model sees them sign young players before developing them and selling them on for major profit and they have struck several deals with Liverpool in the past - Naby Keita and Dominik Szoboszlai among the names to move between the sides.Diomande scored 13 times this year and has been viewed by Liverpool with the Telegraph reporting that the Reds believe they can potentially lower his huge price tag by striking a player-plus-cash deal.READ MORE: Liverpool icon Andy Robertson 'receives tempting offer' to renege on Tottenham agreementREAD MORE: Liverpool alarm bells ring as trio's behaviour raises cause for concernDiomande is a top target but the Merseysiders are equally keeping tabs on alternatives.
