"When asked about a transfer, Diomande name-dropped Chelsea as a big club that it's flattering to be linked with. It's interesting that the 19-year-old didn't mention Liverpool, and he also made it clear just how much he'd like to repay Leipzig for their faith in him. Imagine people say you go to Chelsea or Real Madrid to do this jobyou're going to be happy and motivated to do more, Diomande said."
"I don't think about it too much because my focus is on the pitch, my job is playing football, that takes care of everything, but it gives me a lot of motivation to see people talking about me. He added: It's not just about playing football. Most people can only see what happens on the pitch, but the club (Leipzig) has helped me so much with my family and my mum."
"Young kids like me, I have a lot of things that happen, but nobody knows other than the club. They did a lot for me so I'm grateful and all I can do is help them on the pitch. Diomande has been one of this season's breakthrough stars, weighing in with 13 goals and seven assists in all competitions at the age of just 19."
Yan Diomande responded to transfer speculation about his future at RB Leipzig. The 19-year-old Ivory Coast winger has produced 13 goals and seven assists across all competitions this season. He acknowledged that being linked with major clubs is flattering, naming Chelsea as an example, while keeping his focus on playing football. He suggested he is motivated by the attention but is not preoccupied with it. Diomande also emphasized that Leipzig has supported him beyond the pitch, including help for his family and his mother, and said he wants to repay that faith through his performances.
