Liverpool report: Elite wonderkid issues 'come get me' plea to Reds

Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

Liverpool have been handed a huge boost in their pursuit of a new winger.

The Reds still have conversations to have with Mohamed Salah soon after his return from AFCON, with Egypt now into the last four. The Egyptian is reportedly unhappy with his role under manager Arne Slot this season.

But with focus for now being switched elsewhere, FSG have identified a potential young candidate who wants to become a Liverpool player and is willing to snub other advances from some of Europe's biggest clubs.

Liverpool's transfer spent over the last 12 months has been well documented, with huge names arriving at the club in Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz.

And with the next target now admitting he would love to play in the Premier League for the Reds, it now seems as if the red half of Liverpool is again eyeing up a huge move for one of Europe's best in class.

According to German publication Bild, as relayed by Sports Witness, RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande has admitted on social media that his dream is to play for Liverpool.

Diomande, 19, is thought to be also well thought of at Manchester United, Tottenham and Bayern Munich, but it is the Merseysiders who have now been handed the biggest 'come and get me' plea regarding his future.

Speaking on a TikTok live stream, Diomande was asked about his dream club. He didn’t hesitate to reveal his admiration towards Liverpool.

“I want to play for Liverpool. I’m a huge Liverpool fan. My dad dreams of seeing me play at Anfield!” Bild quote him as saying.

Diomande has impressed for the German side this season, scoring seven goals and contributing four assists from 16 matches.

Under contract until 2030, it would take a mammoth fee to get him to the Premier League, with Transfermarkt suggesting his value would be in the region of €45m (£38.9m).
