Liverpool are aggressively pursuing RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, with sporting director Richard Hughes believing this summer represents the best chance to secure the deal. The 19-year-old Ivory Coast international has drawn comparisons to a Reds legend, with The Redmen TV’s Dan Clubbe suggesting he possesses “the finishing ability of Sadio Mane.” Mane himself scored 120 goals in 269 appearances during his celebrated time at Anfield, making that comparison a significant endorsement of Diomande’s potential. Diomande enjoyed an impressive debut Bundesliga season, contributing 12 goals and nine assists across 33 matches as Leipzig finished third in the table. The teenager…

The Whites finished 14th in their first top-flight campaign since winning the Championship title in 2024/25, also reaching the FA Cup semi-finals.

Phillips was an integral figure for Leeds, capable…
