A top Tottenham attacking target has won over many scouts across Europe, and the Lilywhites face heavy competition for his signature this month.
According to various reports, Spurs are studying moves for several big-name attackers around Europe as they attempt to make a game-changing signing this month.
The speculation linking one Bundesliga star with a move to N17 has been growing steadily over the past few weeks.
It has been widely reported that Spurs have held talks over a January deal for Yan Diomande, who is continuing to win admirers with his performances for RB Leipzig.
Tottenham target Yan Diomande is widely viewed as an elite talent
It has emerged over recent days that Spurs are competing with Man United, Bayern Munich and PSG for Diomande.
Sky Sports journalist Lyall Thomas has now taken to social media to confirm that the Lilywhites are indeed looking at the 19-year-old, and that PSG and Bayern are also ‘monitoring’ the teenager.
The journalist added that scouts who have watched the Ivory Coast international believe that he is already better than some of the best young talent in the Premier League.
Thomas wrote on X: “Spurs are also among the clubs with an interest in Diomande at RB Leipzig. PSG and FCBayern monitoring him too as he continues to impress in the Bundesliga. 19yo and some scouts feel he is already beyond some top talent playing in the Premier League.”
How much would Spurs have to pay for Diomande?
It was initially reported that Leipzig are demanding a whopping €100m (£87m) for Diomande in January, but that figure has been questioned since.
It was recently claimed by talkSPORT that the £87m figure is nothing more than grandstanding from Leipzig and that Diomande is expected to be available for around €60m (£52.3m).
However, the same update added that a sale of the 19-year-old is more likely at the end of the season rather than the current transfer window.
