According to German publication Bild, as relayed by Sports Witness, RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande has admitted on social media that his dream is to play for Liverpool.

Diomande, 19, is thought to be also well thought of at Manchester United, Tottenham and Bayern Munich, but it is the Merseysiders who have now been handed the biggest 'come and get me' plea regarding his future.

Speaking on a TikTok live stream, Diomande was asked about his dream club. He didn’t hesitate to reveal his admiration towards Liverpool.

“I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a huge Liverpool fan. My dad dreams of seeing me play at Anfield!” Bild quote him as saying.

Diomande has impressed for the German side this season, scoring seven goals and contributing four assists from 16 matches.

Under contract until 2030, it would take a mammoth fee to get him to the Premier League, with Transfermarkt suggesting his value would be in the region of €45m (£38.9m).
