Liverpool are in advanced talks with representatives of RB Leipzig attacking midfielder Jan Diomand, according to Sky Sports Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavoleri. Liverpool boss Arne Slott is desperate to rebuild the club’s attack at Anfield and the 19-year-old Ivory Coast international is on his radar. The Reds are in very advanced talks with Diomande’s entourage but will face competition from Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool can improve in the final third after struggling this season and they view the Leipzig star as an important option who can bring much-needed energy and flair to the attack. However, the Bundesliga club want €100m from suitors next summer and it remains to be seen whether the Merseyside club are prepared to spend the cash on a teenager who is unproven in the Premier League.
Mohamed Salah has been out of form this season and selling Luis Diaz to Bayern Munich during last summer’s transfer window is starting to look like a mistake.
Diomande mainly plays as a left winger, but he can also play on the right and in the center. This season he has scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists in 14 games.
