Yan Diomande of RB Leipzig, of course, is a leading target, with Liverpool having made clear to his current employer that it would be willing to offer a package approaching €100 million ($115 million/£85 million).And the Ivory Coast star appears to have all the right attributes to make it at the very top level of the game, even though he is only 19 and has only been in the Bundesliga for one season."Diomande is one of those wingers that it looks to me like his first instinct is to take on his man," Sky Sports pundit Alan Smith told Liverpool.com this week."And there aren't so many of that type of player around these days. If you're playing on the right side of the attack for Liverpool, it'd be big for anybody (to replace Mohamed Salah)."He's an up-and-coming youngster, done well at Leipzig, hasn't he?

We saw in glimpses his abilities."And Wirtz's second season, he'll be hoping to settle down. If he can have a really good World Cup, started well and he's got a manager there in Iraola, I think, that could bring the best out of him."He is a manager that loves using number 10s.

This week, some pundits have suggested that Jeremie Frimpong could even depart for Chelsea, where he could link up with his old boss, Xabi Alonso.That seems highly unlikely, but the former Manchester City youth prospect has much scope for improving too."Frimpong, there's more to come from him in the Liverpool shirt in his second season," Smith, speaking on behalf of Best Betting Sites, says."So there'll be plenty of comings and goings with new managers coming into clubs, whether Alonso would want to take him. He's got some building to do there at Stamford Bridge in terms of his team.
