Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomandé has scored four goals and provided three assists in his last six matches for Real Madrid, Seneweb reports. He scored in particular during the 3-0 victory over Racing de Santander on Sunday, a match in which Jude Bellingham described him as a “special player”.

According to Seneweb, Diomandé has established himself as a player inclined towards dribbling and attacking initiatives, while also contributing to defensive duties. His understanding with Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé is also highlighted. Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr, who is currently suspended, could regain his place on his return; journalist Manolo Lama of Spanish radio station Cadena COPE believes that Real Madrid supporters favour Diomandé.
