Yan Diomande (born 14 November 2006) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig and the Ivory Coast national team.
Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Born in Abidjan, Diomande moved to the United States at a young age and joined DME Academy in 2022, after playing for Boys High School Soccer for Yulee Hornets.[2] At the side, he was named 2023 STARI Player of the Year[3] and also helped their affiliate team Frenzi to win the 2023 United Premier Soccer League Premier Division.[4]
In October 2023, Diomande went on a trial at Scottish side Rangers,[5] but ended up not signing a contract and returned to DME.
Leganés
[edit]On 27 November 2024, Diomande agreed to a deal with Spanish La Liga side Leganés,[6][7] officially joining the club in January.[8] Initially a member of the reserves in Tercera Federación, he made his first team – and top tier – debut on 29 March, coming on as a late substitute for Juan Cruz in a 3–2 away loss to Real Madrid.[9]
Diomande scored his first professional goal on 11 May 2025, netting his side's second in a 3–2 home win over Espanyol.[10]
RB Leipzig
[edit]On 16 July 2025, Diomande signed a five-year contract with Bundesliga side RB Leipzig,[11] after the club paid his €20 million release clause.[12] A month later, on 16 August, he netted his first goal for the club in a 4–2 away win over SV Sandhausen in the DFB-Pokal.[13] On 25 October, he scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 6–0 away win over Augsburg.[14] Later that year, on 6 December, he netted a hat-trick in a 6–0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt, becoming the second youngest player to achieve this feat in Bundesliga history behind only Walter Bechtold in 1965.[15][16]
International career
[edit]On 27 May 2025, Diomande was called up to the Ivory Coast U23s for a friendly.[17]
