Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, and they will look to compete with clubs like Arsenal for his signature.
The 18-year-old has joined the German club at the start of the season, and he is in very impressive form. He has already registered six contributions this season, and he will only improve with coaching and experience.
Graeme Bailey told TBR: “He really is special, I am told Red Bull think he could be their greatest prospect since Erling Haaland. Leipzig say there is no release clause, and already he is being talked about in the £88 million category.”
Yan Diomande could be a future star
The Ivorian youth international has the potential to develop into a quality player with the right guidance, and moving to England could be ideal for him. Regular football in the Premier League could bring out the best in the player.
Spurs have done well with young players, and they could play a key role in his development. Working with a quality manager like Thomas Frank could bring out the best in the attacker.
The 18-year-old is a wide player, and he will add pace and flair to the side. Tottenham need someone who can take on defenders in one-versus-one situations and add some unpredictability in the final third. The 18-year-old seems like the ideal option for them.
Can Spurs sign Diomande?
The German club paid around £17.6 million to sign him, and it will be interesting to see if they are willing to sell him for a reasonable amount of money. Spurs recently dealt with the German outfit for Xavi Simons, and it remains to be seen whether they can use the amicable relationship with RB Leipzig and get the deal done in future.
Arsenal are interested in the player as well. They need more quality in the final third, and they could be an attractive destination for the 18-year-old. It remains to be seen what the player decides. He will probably want to join a team capable of winning trophies, and the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham will be attractive destinations for him.
