He Wants To Join: Liverpool Now Pushing To Sign 'Unstoppable' Star

Liverpool believe that Yan Diomande is now keen to join the club, according to TeamTalk, which is the reason behind their latest push to sign the winger this summer.

The 19-year-old has taken the world by storm in recent months, with his move from Leganes to RB Leipzig placing him on the Bundesliga stage.

While he had drawn interest, all eyes have been on the forward at the World Cup, where he has performed well for the Ivory Coast in the early phases of the competition so far.

As focus persists on Diomande, Liverpool have made an offer that was firmly rejected by RB Leipzig, but the plan seems to be that another bid is on the way.

According to the report from TeamTalk, Liverpool are growing in optimism that Diomande is keen on joining the club this summer, which is behind their recent push to land the forward.

It comes as Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with the star, who has openly admitted that he would like to compete in Ligue Un if given the chance.

While that seemed to hand the Champions League holders the advantage, the report from TeamTalk suggests that Liverpool believe a deal could now get done.

The Reds have spent a considerable amount of time with the player's representatives discussing a possible deal, and have recently given an in-depth look of where they see his future in the team.

That is claimed to have excited Diomande, who is a key target as part of the new era under Andoni Iraola. Personal terms are thought not to be an issue, with the largest remaining obstacle being the club-to-club talks over a fee.

Diomande is quite clearly an unbelievable talent, who has been described as "unstoppable" on his day, with his rapid ascent showing his quality.

Given his World Cup performances, and the interest from elsewhere, it's clear that Liverpool need to get a deal done quickly while they're ahead of others in the negotiating stage.

Liverpool have entered the race to land a midfielder this summer, and will be joined by some rivals in the hunt for his signature.

PSG are also in the hunt and any deal could help free up Bradley Barcola for a move, as he has been linked with a potential switch to Anfield this summer.

However, Diomande remains priority number one for good reason, and the fee shouldn't be prohibitive of landing an important star for the future.
