El Hadji Malick Diouf, young Senegalese left back, playing for Slavia Prague, is attracting the attention of many European clubs, particularly in the Premier League.
Since his £2 million move last January from Tromsø, Norway, the player has continued to impress. Interested teams include Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, and Brentford, joined by clubs from Spain, Germany and France. Crystal Palace, in particular, appear determined to strengthen their left side, a need unmet during the last summer transfer window, in order to find a solid alternative to Tyrick Mitchell, reports Mirror. The performances of the young Senegalese player, regular both in the league and in European competitions, do not go unnoticed. He shone in the Europa League and Champions League qualifiers, scoring five goals and providing three assists in all competitions this season.
Slavia Prague is hoping for a record transfer for its player, comparable to that of Tomas Soucek, sold to West Ham for 15 million pounds in 2020. However, the former Tromso player’s contract, running until 2028, does not provide no release clause, complicating a possible transaction. Stanislav Tecl, member of the Slavia management, raised the possibility of loaning El Hadji Diouf to the Czech club until the end of the season, an option considered unlikely given the scale of the expected amounts. “ If such a move goes through, it’s hard to imagine he could be loaned back to his former club immediately “, he said. The future of El Hadji Malick Diouf therefore seems promised to a major European club this winter. With such talent at just 19 years old, he remains one of the most promising young players on the transfer market.
