The RB Leipzig winger has seven goals and four assists in club football this term, and is currently playing at AFCON for the Ivory Coast, who top their group.<\/p>\n<p>If they are to progress into the latter stages of the tournament, Diomande would not return to Leipzig until the back half of January.<\/p>\n<p>MORE ON TOTTENHAM FROM F365:<br \/>*\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/bayern-munich-make-informal-approach-for-tottenham-star-as-crystal-palace-push-for-spurs-forward\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bayern Munich make \u2018informal approach\u2019 for Tottenham star as Crystal Palace \u2018push\u2019 for Spurs forward<\/a><br \/>*\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/thomas-frank-pressure-daft-tottenham\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Thomas Frank pressure is \u2018daft\u2019 as pundits \u2018don\u2019t get\u2019 how he could be sacked<\/a><br \/>*\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/tottenham-not-sign-bayern-munich-star-leon-goretzka\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tottenham will \u2018not\u2019 sign Goretzka as insider reveals Kompany intervention<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That is not stopping big clubs looking into his signing.<\/p>\n<p>As well as Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool have been linked with the 19-year-old of late, though he might not leave the club any time soon.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/liverpool-request-meeting-hijack-man-utd-transfer-agent-travelling-england\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fabrizio Romano detailed the winger\u2019s situation of late<\/a>, saying: \u201cYan Diomande, winger at RB Leipzig, is doing very well for Ivory Coast at the AFCON.
