Diakhaby has become a revelation in a youthful Lyon side that currently sit third in Ligue 1 and have cruised into the Europa League knockout stages. It is no surprise to see Pep Guardiola's Manchester City linked to the 20-year-old, who would fit the bill at Anfield for precisely the same reasons Guardiola rates the young man so highly. The talented youngster combines his speed with strength and commendable ability on the ball, making him an ideal jigsaw in Klopp's Liverpool project. These traits are also what prompted Guardiola to dispatch Tixxi Begiristan to scout Diakhaby earlier this season. Both sides deploy a dangerously high line, thus Diakhaby's recovery speed would be crucial.
