Aged only 19, Yan Diomandé has already made a name for himself in the German championship. Author of 13 goals and 10 assists (all competitions) in 36 appearances, the Ivorian winger made an impression this season with his club Leipzig.
Unsurprisingly, the man who is preparing to play the first World Cup of his young career with the Elephants was elected “rookie of the year” in the Bundesliga. He thus succeeds Michael Olise, who is not a model for him…
“ I have a lot of respect for him (Michael Olise), but I don’t take him as a role model. I look at Michael Olise like I look at Harry Kane or Luis Diaz. They are great players from whom I try to learn certain things », Confided Yan Diomandé to ESPN.
“Maybe tomorrow I will want to win the Ballon d’Or”
The Ivorian gem then displayed its great ambitions: “
I have a new dream every day. Maybe tomorrow I’ll want to win the Ballon d’Or. But for now, I mainly want to stay focused on myself, score more goals and have a good World Cup. »
Announced in the sights of the biggest European teams, Yan Diomandé would notably be on the shelves of Paris Saint-Germain. But to secure his services, you will have to take out a big check. Its value is estimated by the specialist site Transfermarkt at 90 million euros.
