Comfortable on either wing, he can create chances, beat defenders one-on-one, is a skillful dribbler and can contribute goals. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">From the left, he can cut inside on to his right foot and threaten goal, while from the right he can use his pace and crossing ability to create opportunities for team-mates. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This flexibility makes him a strong fit for Real Madrid, who have been searching for greater consistency in the right-wing position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The 120m euros fee shows how highly Real Madrid rate Diomande&#8217;s potential, and they believe he has the ability to become a key player for the future. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Diomande formed a strong partnership with right-back Ridle Baku at Leipzig, and his attacking threat could be enhanced further by linking up with creative and experienced full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Cucurella at Real.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Real Madrid&#8217;s move for Diomande reflects the club&#8217;s commitment to signing elite young talents before they reach their&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":585103,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-585102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585102","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=585102"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/585102\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/585103"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=585102"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=585102"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=585102"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
