Yan Diomande 'makes decision' on signing for Liverpool or PSG

Liverpool and PSG have been competing to sign the World Cup starlet Yan Diomande this summer, and the Ivory Coast international has apparently made his decision.

Diomande has impressed in the World Cup to this point, as they beat Ecuador in their opener before suffering a late defeat to Germany in the second fixture.

The 19-year-old had been the subject of interest from both the Reds and the French side ahead of the international competition due to his performances for RB Leipzig last season.

Now it has been reported that he has made his decision on which club he will join ahead of the next campaign, according to Media Foot.

It is reported that Liverpool have beaten PSG in the race to sign Diomande, with it expected that the 19-year-old is the replacement for Mohamed Salah.

The Ivorian international is understood to have come to an agreement with both clubs; however, PSG were not willing to pay the fee that RB Leipzig were seeking for their attacker.

PSG will now turn their attention towards other targets this summer after having missed out on the Ivory Coast international.

Diomande is not the first deal of the Andoni Iraola era at Anfield, as that honour goes to Victor Munoz, as the Reds agreed to pay his release clause from Osasuna earlier in the summer.

The signing of these two wingers may indicate the direction in which the club is looking to evolve under their Basque manager by adding more pace and dynamism to their attack for next season.

Fans of Liverpool may be excited by the potential of Diomande, especially when looking at his output this season at only 19, as he scored 13 goals across 36 matches before he became the youngest player to appear for his country at a World Cup.
