Signs with Leipzig Diomande has completed a transfer to Leipzig from Leganes, according to his new club.

Impact Diomande is departing La Liga this offseason and will now head to Germany, inking a deal with Leipzig until 2030. The 18-year-old just debuted at the professional level, still early in his career, starting in six of his 10 appearances while notching two goals and one assist. That said, he will hope to see more chances with Leipzig but will likely see more of a rotational role, having to show his value a bit more before starting time comes his way.

Scores and assists on Saturday Diomande scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and three chances created in Saturday's 3-0 win against Valladolid. He was injured and subbed out in the 63rd minute.

Impact Diomande set up the opener for Javi Hernandez in the 24th minute before scoring himself in the 36th, assisted by Seydouba Cisse. Diomande also made four tackles and an interception before being forced off due to injury. This was just his sixth start of the season and marked his first assist of the campaign.

Scores first La Liga goal Diomande scored a goal off his lone shot, created two chances and drew four fouls during Sunday's 3-2 win over Espanyol.

Impact Diomande returned to the starting XI and once again impressed from the left flank. In the 41st minute, he doubled his side's lead with a classy finish after dribbling past a defender inside the box. This was the first senior goal for the youngster, who appears as one of Leganes' biggest hopes for the future and should remain in the lineup for the final stretch of the campaign.
