Liverpool’s recruitment drive under Arne Slot has turned to two promising youngsters: Kees Smit, an 18‑year‑old Dutch midfielder with 89% pass accuracy and 5.8 ball recoveries per game, and Yan Diomande, a 19‑year‑old winger who has scored seven goals and provided four assists in 20 Bundesliga appearances.
Both players are attracting interest from clubs such as Arsenal, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Manchester United, with Diomande’s €100m asking price from RB Leipzig making him a high‑cost target for the Reds.
