Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United are fighting over the transfer of RB Leipzig left winger Yan Diomande Christian Falk via Bayern insider.
Diomande has been one of the hottest topics in the transfer window this month and next summer due to his blistering form for Die Roten Bullen.
Just seven months after joining from Spanish Segunda Division side Leganes, the left winger has taken the Bundesliga by storm with seven goals and five assists, taking his tally in all competitions to 14 in 20 appearances for Ole Werner’s side.
In addition to his individual numbers, he also ranks the highest for dribble completions of any player who has attempted more than 80 dribbles this season, with a 55.8% success rate, according to Who scored.
It is no surprise that several clubs, especially in the Premier League, will be vying for his signature as the summer window approaches.
According to Christian Falkvia Bayern insiderthe renowned German transfer journalist claims that Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd have shown interest in signing Diomande from Leipzig.
He adds that the Premier League giants have been keeping a close eye on the Ivorian international by sending scouts to watch his performances at the Red Bull Arena ahead of a potential move.
Conflict
In what could be a boost for the trio, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are also interested in the exciting 19-year-old but are reluctant to pay a large fee for his signature, which the report claims could be around £86 million, which could put the Reds, the Gunners and the Red Devils in pole position.
After 1195 minutes played in the Bundesliga, Diomande is one of the best performing strikers in Germany. No player in the league has recorded more progressive carries per 90 minutes than his 5.81, while he also ranks in the 90th percentile for successful dribbles, 96th percentile for non-penalty goals and in the 79th percentile for key passes.
His dribbling may have taken up much of the spotlight, but it is also important to note that he is one of the most creative and productive strikers, with only Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal the only teenager in Europe to record more goal contributions (16).
The Ivorian, who recently won the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month award in December, will undoubtedly be a huge asset to Arsenal, Liverpool or Man Utd’s front line, so it will be interesting to see which club will be willing to break the bank to sign him next summer.
