Liverpool are keen to secure the signing of RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande this summerJurgen Klopp has hailed Liverpool target Yan Diomande as one of the best wingers on the planet. The Reds are stepping up their pursuit to land the second signing of the Andoni Iraola era.Having already wrapped up Victor Munoz's move from Osasuna, Diomande's arrival from RB Leipzig appears to be next on Liverpool's agenda.



And that's where the support is."Reports from Germany suggest new head coach Iraola is already well aware of Diomande's abilities, with Liverpool reportedly having already lodged a bid, which was rejected. The Athletic’s David Ornstein has reported that Luis Enrique's side will only pursue Diomande if he makes clear his wish to move to Paris, though he has also confirmed the Ligue 1 champions' interest in securing him.It comes as little surprise that some of Europe's elite clubs are chasing his signature, given he notched 12 goals in his debut Bundesliga campaign.

Diomande was once again in impressive form against Germany, setting up Ivory Coast's opener before they fell to a stoppage time defeat.Diomande, who made way for former Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe in the second half, has dropped a few hints about his future. My agents will sort that out."As for me I am more focused on the World Cup, that's the most important thing.
