Report: Liverpool keen on signing 6ft 3in RB Leipzig star along with Yan Diomande
Liverpool are reportedly really keen on a potential transfer move for RB Leipzig midfield wonderkid Assan Ouedraogo this summer.
The 19-year-old looks like a top talent and is already an imposing figure in midfield due to his 6ft 3in frame, possessing the physical and technical qualities to be a perfect signing for a bigger club.

This is not the first time we’ve heard speculation over Ouedraogo’s future, but now German outlet Bild are linking him strongly with Liverpool.
They report that Ouedraogo could move for around €40m, while this also comes as Liverpool have long been eyeing his Leipzig teammate Yan Diomande, as per Christian Falk and others.
Liverpool to sign Assan Ouedraogo and make changes in midfield?
LFC fans will not be at all happy with how this season has gone, and one imagines everyone inside Anfield will be aware of the need to make some changes in this summer’s transfer window.
There could surely be room for Ouedraogo in Arne Slot’s squad, especially if there ends up being real substance to the rumours about Ryan Gravenberch being a target for Real Madrid.

One imagines Liverpool won’t want to be letting a key player like Gravenberch go, but Fichajes have claimed that Real Madrid are prepared to pay €120m for the Netherlands international.
That could perhaps be a tempting fee for the Merseyside giants to accept if they could then replace him with a long-term successor like Ouedraogo.
Leipzig are a selling club so this could be a major opportunity for Liverpool, while Diomande would also be a dream signing from the Bundesliga side.
