Liverpool is looking to sign RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande this summer as part of their strategy to enhance their attacking options. The club aims to target multiple wingers during the transfer window.
Liverpool have the opportunity to sign âincredibleâ forward this summer
Liverpoolâs recruitment focus on wide forwards has intensified, and a recent Anfield Index podcast featuring Dave Davis and Spencer Mossman offered a detailed breakdown of potential targets. Among them, one name stands above the rest, Yan Diomande of RB Leipzig, a player Mossman believes Liverpool must prioritise.
From the outset, the discussion framed Liverpoolâs approach clearly. As Davis noted, âLiverpool will be targeting wingers this summer, probably plural if weâre honest,â setting the tone for a multi-signing strategy.
Mossmanâs assessment of Diomande was unequivocal. âOh, heâs incredible. He would be, yeah, heâs the one for me,â he said, before adding, âthereâs not many opportunities to get a winger potentially of his level.â That statement alone places the RB Leipzig forward in elite territory among Liverpool targets.
The analysis leaned heavily on Diomandeâs production and technical ability. Mossman highlighted a key metric, stating, âif you look at goals scored that were preceded by a take on, he leads all the top five leagues in that sort of a regard.â For a 19-year-old, that level of direct impact is rare.
Equally important is his versatility. âHe can do it on either side,â Mossman explained, noting that while Diomande is âbetter off the left,â he remains âa very solid A off the right.â This adaptability aligns with Liverpoolâs tactical flexibility under Arne Slot.
Beyond technical output, Diomandeâs physical profile drew significant praise. Mossman pointed to his relentless work rate, saying, âhe basically played like a fullback, he had the defensive output of a fullback.â That blend of attacking threat and defensive intensity is particularly valuable in Liverpoolâs system.
Yan Diomande is a forward from RB Leipzig, and Liverpool sees him as a key target to strengthen their attacking lineup this summer.
Liverpool plans to focus on signing multiple wingers to enhance their squad depth and attacking options.

His athleticism also stands out. As discussed, his sprinting and high energy actions place him among the Bundesligaâs elite. Mossman summed it up succinctly, âwhat heâs able to do just all encompassing is phenomenal.â
This directly feeds into Liverpoolâs wider squad building logic. Mossman stressed the importance of physicality, noting, âyou canât teach the physicals. Either youâre an athlete or youâre not.â In that sense, Diomande fits the clubâs recruitment model perfectly.

Despite the glowing praise, the podcast did not ignore potential risks. Mossman identified the primary concern as âthe sample size and the competition.â While Diomande has performed consistently for over a year, he admitted, âyou ideally want to see it done in⊠the Premier League or the Champions League.â
However, he was quick to contextualise that concern, adding, âat this point, I donât think it is [a flash in the pan].â The implication is that while caution exists, it does not outweigh the upside.
The clearest takeaway from the discussion was Liverpoolâs need to act decisively. Mossman was blunt in his conclusion, âfor me, youâve got to sign Diomande. Thereâs just no other way around it.â
He also suggested a dual signing approach, stating, âitâs Diomande and one of the other ones,â reinforcing the idea that Liverpool are building depth as well as quality.
In a market full of promising wide players, Diomande emerges as the standout option. As Mossman put it, âheâs already one of the best wingers in the world at 19⊠Iâll just put it flatly that way.â For Liverpool, that level of conviction could prove decisive in shaping their summer transfer window.
