Seven transfer targets who could improve any team this month

"Deployed on both wings at Leipzig, Diomande's impact is mainly seen from his ability to drive forward from wide areas. He is particularly effective when moving inside, where his quick changes of direction, excellent balance, admirable determination, lightning-quick first step and close control make him difficult for markers to get to grips with. Those traits are reflected in his 3.80 successful dribbles (per 90 minutes), with most of those actions being designed to gain meters and disrupt defensive shape rather than for show."

"Furthermore, his forward momentum regularly carries Leipzig into dangerous areas. His 4.5 touches in the opposition box (per 90) highlights how often he arrives in positions to create opportunities, and he has scored seven goals himself across all competitions. Although the defensive side of his game remains a work in progress, the scale of his breakthrough has already drawn sustained attention from some of the biggest clubs, with Bayern Munich reported to be in the running."

Diomande, a 19-year-old winger at RB Leipzig, has produced a breakthrough season after joining from Leganes for €20 million. The player arrived in Spain from U.S. college side AS Frenzi in January 2025 and is valued at €45 million with a contract running until 2030. He operates on both wings, often cutting inside, and combines quick changes of direction, balance, determination, a fast first step and tight close control. He averages 3.80 successful dribbles and 4.5 touches in the opposition box per 90, has scored seven goals, and still needs defensive development, drawing interest from major clubs including Bayern Munich.
