Coveted by the Premier League and in particular by Leeds and Everton, the 22-year-old Senegalese striker finally flew to Brittany where he signed a 4.5-year contract with FC Lorient.

Came into play in the second half (69th) during the defeat of his team against Stade de Reims, “Bambagoal” definitely launched his Lorient adventure.

I stayed focused to help the team and find some playing time. Unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned and that’s why I came here. It’s football, there are difficult times., concluded Dieng. Opposed, this Sunday, to Angers, a club remaining on a series of 13 defeats in the league, Bamba Dieng will have the opportunity to definitively record the beginning of a new story and the end of a soap opera. .
