Former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge enjoyed what he saw from the RB Leipzig winger, taking to X to heap praise on him, saying: “Diomande is causing all kinds of trouble. Africa always produce amazing attackers and he’s next up.



Love his game.” Now, writing for The Times, the reliable Joyce has claimed that the Reds will “bid again” for Diomande “in the coming days” after their £86m offer was deemed to be “significantly short of RB Leipzig’s £100million-plus valuation.” He goes on to add that the Bundesliga outfit “does not want to sell the teenager and insists it will take an ‘extraordinary’ offer for them to fold.” Will Liverpool get a deal for Yan Diomande over the line? Diomande has an ability to beat a player with such ease – he completed four dribbles against Spain, according to FotMob – while commentator Kevin Hatchard has claimed that even a below-par performance would be a good one for most players: “Weirdly, I didn’t think Yan Diomande was anywhere near his best against Germany.

His 5/10 is a lot of players’ 8/10.” It is hard to predict where Diomande will be playing his football next season, but Liverpool must throw everything at him, with the teenager having the potential to be one of Europe’s best wide players for the next decade.
