Liverpool have “made the most progress” when it comes to signing RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande, according to journalist Abdellah Boulma. “Liverpool are, in my view, the club that have made the most progress so far.

Liverpool have been more proactive and are therefore ahead at this stage. But as things stand today, nothing is close and there is still a long way to go.” Yan Diomande should be Liverpool’s No.1 summer transfer target Diomande showed in the Ivory Coast’s 1-0 win over Ecuador what a special talent he is, with his manager Emerse Fae describing him as a “very talented” player.

He has to be viewed as Liverpool’s priority ahead of the summer transfer window, with his lightning speed, quick feet and quality in the final third already looking elite. Liverpool would be signing a player with a world-class ceiling, and missing out on him to PSG or another club for that matter, would be a huge blow.
