Premier League Giants Step Up Scouting of RB Leipzig's 18-Year-Old Yan Diomande

Leipzig control his future under a five-year contract with no release clause.

Overview

  • Arsenal have sent scouts to watch Diomande this season, with Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham also monitoring him.
  • The teenager has delivered three goals and three assists in 10 games, including a Player of the Match display in a 3-1 win over Stuttgart.
  • Leipzig signed him in the summer by triggering a release clause at Leganes of about €20 million and then agreed a five-year deal without a buyout clause.
  • Reporting indicates Leipzig could consider improved terms if his form continues, while talk of a valuation near £88 million is described as market chatter rather than a set price.
  • Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have been alerted to his rise, with Red Bull figures privately rating him as a special prospect.
