Liverpool scouts witnessed transfer target Yan Diomande score an impressive hat-trick on the same day<\/strong> Mo Salah threw his future in major doubt.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Salah hit out at manager Arne Slot on Saturday\u00a0in an explosive interview following the 3-3 draw with Leeds United.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia club Al-Ittihad are the favourites to sign Salah<\/a> during the January transfer window after the 33-year-old suggested he was being made a scapegoat.<\/p>\n

It appears they may have already found his successor after reportedly watching\u00a0target Diomande in action for RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n

His potential was on show as the 19-year-old winger scored three goals in the club’s 6-0 thrashing of Bundesliga rivals Eintracht Frankfurt.<\/p>\n

It took his goal tally to six in his last six matches with RB Leipzig sitting second in the German top flight.<\/p>\n

Can Yan Diomande replace Mo Salah?<\/h2>\n

Diomande became the second youngest player to score a hat-trick in Bundesliga history at the weekend, just 22 days after his 19th birthday.<\/p>\n

A hugely talented prospect, reports claim Liverpool had scouts in attendance to witness the Ivorian help dismantle a strong Eintracht Frankfurt side.<\/p>\n

He plays on both flanks, but has featured 10 times on the right wing in 15 appearances this season.<\/p>\n

All of his goal involvements have come on the right, hitting the target seven times while assisting a further four.<\/p>\n

Salah’s likely departure is going to leave a huge gap on Liverpool’s right side, and it’s an area they will have to address in the transfer window.<\/p>\n

Dominik Szoboszlai has filled the void in Liverpool’s previous two matches, and despite breaking a transfer record by spending \u00a3446million in the summer, the club lack a natural right winger.<\/p>\n

Antoine Semenyo is one player<\/a> who has been heavily linked since his \u00a360million release clause came to the surface.<\/p>\n

However, the former Bristol City winger’s strongest position is on the left.<\/p>\n

Diomande is lightning quick. His 35.98 km\/h top speed clocked this season is the third fastest in the league, while his three Man of the Match awards can only be bettered by Harry Kane.<\/p>\n

His average of 2.8 successful dribbles per game is also unrivalled and evidence that he enjoys a similar playing style to Salah.<\/p>\n
