In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (39.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.81 goal contributions per 90 (0.74 goals, 0.07 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Dieng.

Judged on this season alone, Dieng graded 37 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 33 centre-forwards in the Ligue 1, on 10 goals and 1 assist in 22 appearances (0.811 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 37). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 66, 16th of 33 of the 33 centre-forwards in the Ligue 1. At 26 Dieng is in his prime years, and a market index of 38.3 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Dieng missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 22 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
