Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly planning to make a move to sign RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Since moving to the Red Bull Arena from Spanish side Leganés, the 19-year-old has put in impressive performances this season, scoring nine goals and registering five assists in 24 appearances across all competitions.
He helped his team with a point against Wolfsburg by scoring a goal on Sunday. The forward has even guided his side to a top four place in the Bundesliga, trailing fourth-place Stuttgart by just two points.
After proving his worth in the German top flight, Diomande has secured his place in the Ivory Coast national team, helping his country reach the quarter-finals of AFCON.
Now, onto his YouTube channel, Romano states that following Diomande’s meteoric rise, he has attracted a lot of attention ahead of the upcoming winter transfer window.
Man Utd and Tottenham have shown their interest in him and regularly send scouts to see him in action up close before making a potential move.
However, Paris Saint-Germain is interested in him and is keeping a close eye on his development. Moreover, Bayern Munich is participating in this race because Vincent Kompany really appreciates the youngster.

The player previously said that his favorite destination is Liverpool, but the journalist has clarified that the Reds are his father’s favorite team and that he is willing to join another team as well.
Romano said:
“There is a lot of interest from several clubs in England and also from France because Paris Saint-Germain has been keeping an eye on the player. Several clubs are following Yan Diomande, one of the most interesting wingers around.
“Man United and Tottenham have sent their scouts several times to follow Yan Diomande, but we have to include Bayern as one of the interested clubs. They are following the player closely, Vincent Kompany appreciates the player.”
Diomande recently joined Leipzig and has a contract until 2030, so they are in a strong position to demand a huge fee if they have to let him leave this summer.
Diomande is a very talented player and still very young. So he would be a big step forward for Man Utd or Tottenham if either club were to ultimately manage to secure his services in the upcoming transfer window.
