RB Leipzig sensation Yan Diomande has shot to the top of Liverpool’s shortlist of potential replacements for Mohamed Salah this summer. His performances have not gone unnoticed – PSG, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool are all reportedly tracking the 19-year-old Ivorian, making him one of the most coveted teenagers on the continent heading into the summer window.

And speaking to Africa Foot, the Ivorian winger has explained that the interest from Liverpool and other top clubs is giving him “more motivation to work”: “I’m here, and first and foremost, I’m healthy and working hard every day. As for the rest, I have a team that takes care of everything; I don’t stress about it.

I play for Leipzig and enjoy it,” Diomande explained. Leipzig are holding firm on a €100 million asking price and have been in discussions with Diomande about a new improved contract – one that would come with a salary hike and the potential inclusion of a release clause.
