Plus, we have great attacking players, like Yan, like Amad, and they were able to get more on the ball, push Ecuador back."
Alternative Transfer Scenarios Emerge
While Liverpool pushes for Diomande, alternative transfer scenarios have emerged involving potential market movements between the competing clubs.
Former Aston Villa forward Gabby Agbonlahor suggested on talkSPORT that Paris Saint-Germain might ultimately land the 19-year-old, which could subsequently free up another target for Liverpool.
"When you're that good at that age and you have so long left of your career, if you don't get injured of course, your price tag is going to be so much higher than a 24-year-old," said Agbonlahor.
He highlighted Diomande's remarkable individual statistics from his breakout Bundesliga season to justify the massive valuation.
"I know he's not proven amazingly yet but last season Diomande scored 12 goals and had nine assists in the league for Leipzig, he's 19 years of age."
Agbonlahor pointed to the winger's explosive dribbling ability showcased on the international stage against top-tier defenders.
"Over the season, he has 118 successful dribbles, 50 more than anyone else and last night he made Hincapie look ordinary.
He twisted him left, right and centre on the big stage," said Agbonlahor.
He predicted that a move to France would result in a domino effect benefiting the Merseyside club's frontline recruitment.
"I think he goes to PSG because of the way they're performing at the moment and PSG will let Barcola go to Liverpool because they don't need that many wingers," said Agbonlahor.
