Diomande has scored seven goals and provided an additional four assists in the Bundesliga this season, and has completed 68 dribbles, more than any other player in Germany’s top tier, and that form attracted interest from Premier League sides Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham last month.
Yet despite being aware of top-tier interest, Diomande has admitted he is not trying to think too far ahead.
“I’m trying to stay concentrated and listen to the coaching staff and to play my own game. People can see everything is going well, so I’m not gonna stop,” Diomande told GOAL earlier this year.
“My friends try to send it to me, but I try to stay focused and calm. For me, it was gonna take like, two or three years. I’m working hard as well, and I’m happy, like everything happens so quickly, and I hope to keep going until the season ends.”
