Jan Diormand: This is my first season in this weight class, and I believe I can become even stronger.

Amidst escalating transfer rumors, Jan Diomande expressed his gratitude for RB Leipzig's profound impact on his career. Given his 11 goals and 8 assists in 29 official matches, this performance was not surprising, but rather a natural consequence of a breakthrough season.

Last summer, the 19-year-old striker transferred from Leganés to RB Leipzig, a move that was more than just a routine transfer; it symbolized the beginning of a new phase in his life. Jan Diomande stated, "For me, this was an important step. I already knew Leipzig through Amadou Haidara's performance in the Champions League. When I learned that the club was interested in signing me, I chose to join without hesitation."

His eyes shone as he viewed that moment as a pivotal turning point in his life and cherished the opportunity immensely. He said, "Not everyone gets this opportunity, and I am very grateful for God's blessing."

Despite the high praise he has received from the outside world, Jan Diomande has always insisted that hard work is the key to his success. In his view, the 19 goals he has been involved in so far this season (goals + assists) are just a stage achievement, not an excuse to relax.

Jan Diomande stated that continuing to train hard is his most important task right now, and he believes he still has a lot of room for improvement: "This is only my first season at this level, and I still have the opportunity to become better. I feel very fortunate to be able to take care of my family, and it is especially precious to take on such responsibilities at my age. I wanted to be a pillar of support for my family when I was young, and I am satisfied with that, all of which is inseparable from the platform provided by RB Leipzig."
