Chelsea now ready to sign AFCON star Yan Diomande

Here is the latest Chelsea transfer speculation that you may have missed as reports have claimed the Blues have become the latest club to show interest in RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande.

CHELSEA have finally managed to secure the services of Liam Rosenior for the next five years after they made the move to get a swoop done, and now the Blues can focus on adding to their squad.

But despite all the quality that Chelsea has all over the pitch, there has been reports that the Blues have joined the chase alongside Arsenal, Man United and Tottenham in the hunt to try and sign Yan Diomande.

Diomande has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Bundesliga since joining RB Leipzig from CD Leganes this past summer. and he 19-year-old has been one of the most productive attackers for the Bundesliga club this season, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in 16 outings in all competitions thus far.

But according to The Athletic, a fee of £86million may be required to sign Diomande in the coming windows, and Furthermore, as Leipzig have no intention of allowing Diomande to leave, it will take a very large offer for them to consider a winter sale as his contract expires in 2030.

IcFootballnews Says…

Diomande is the type of player that CHELSEA like to sign, young, hungry and full of talent. But he is a player that the club do not need right now and adding him to the squad would only unsettle his development.

However – despite the fact the Blues are one of the biggest clubs in world football, there is so much quality in that Blues side that Diomande may not get the chances that he is right now.

So maybe a move to Chelsea is not the best thing for the lad?
