Liverpool have been among those most heavily linked with the Ivorian.They need a replacement for Mohamed Salah, who called time on his spell at Anfield at the end of the season.

The ex-Aston Villa striker has suggested that Diomande's arrival could see Bradley Barcola become available.He said on talkSPORT: "I think he is going to choose PSG, the way they're performing at the moment. If Diomande sign they'll let him go because they don't need that many wingers."Barcola is currently the first back-up in Paris, playing behind Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who have been sensational in the wide areas for the French champions.

Equally they have Rio Ngumoha who continues to emerge and is set for even more involvement.Diomande himself has confessed that PSG were the team he followed as a child with his father also a fan. My father is a Paris Saint-Germain supporter; it's a team I admire as a football fan."Speaking to French TV station Telefoot he added: "It would be a pleasure for me to come and play here with one of the biggest clubs.
