"According to Romano, Tottenham tested Leipzig's resolve with a concrete approach as they looked to bolster their attacking options for the second half of the season. However, the message from the Bundesliga side was emphatic: Yan Diomande is not for sale in January. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano revealed: Tottenham already tried in this January window and it was not possible."
"While Tottenham's immediate pursuit has hit a wall, the race for Diomande's signature is expected to explode once the summer window opens. Romano noted that the competition will be fierce, stating, The message from Leipzig is that Diomande will not leave the club in the January window. They want to keep the player. Eventually in the summer it's going to be a different story, because Man Utd, PSG and Bayern Munich are sending their people to follow him."
Tottenham made a concrete January approach to sign 19-year-old Ivorian winger Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig, but Leipzig refused to sell mid-season. Diomande has emerged as one of the most sought-after young wingers in Europe thanks to his electric Bundesliga performances. Leipzig intends to retain him to support domestic and European objectives and prefers to sell at a premium rather than in January. Tottenham sought the player to strengthen their attack for the second half of the campaign but conceded a mid-season deal was not possible. Interest is expected to intensify in the summer from top clubs.
