Yan Diomande has been the main name mooted to come in and replace Mohamed Salah at Liverpool this summer.Salah is not staying despite Arne Slot’s sacking, meaning there are some big shoes to fill on the right-hand side.Diomande remains the main target for the Merseyside outfit, but there are fears that the longer the transfer saga goes on, the more likely PSG are to make an offer.

I’m a big Liverpool fan. My father’s dream is to see me play for Liverpool.”Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
