Yan DiomandeCreative one-versus-one left winger
Across 2,484 published minutes for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga during 2025/26, Yan Diomande reads as a creative one-versus-one left winger. Successful take-on volume at 4.31 per 90 (98th percentile) stands out as a role marker; big-chance creation at 0.62 per 90 (95th percentile) and pass completion at 84.1% (91st percentile) back it up. Shot volume is modest in the 38th percentile; role and penalty-area access are the first things to check.
