Yan Diomandé #11

Profile

The 19-year-old is certainly one to watch this summer. His form in Germany, where he has added goals to his game in his first season at the elite level, has made him a contender to win Tuttosport’s prestigious Golden Boy award, given to the best player under 21 in Europe. Diomandé is an eye-catching dribbler and has tormented defenders in the Bundesliga since arriving from Leganés last summer for €20m. The big question is: can he handle the pressure of what comes next? If he can inspire Les Éléphants into the World Cup knockout stages and beyond, who’s to say one of Europe’s biggest clubs won’t come in with a mammoth offer?
