Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Diouf.
Judged on this season alone, Diouf graded 42 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 78 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 0 goals, 5 assists and 2.982 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 14 → 42).
On long-term talent our Rating reads 89, top 12% of the 78 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 21 Diouf is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 95.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Diouf missed 6 games through injury (international duty) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 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.
A career still climbing — Diouf is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · West Ham finished 18th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 5 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 79.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91.1/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 88.6, Diouf carries the 9th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League (top 12%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (West Ham finished 18th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.98 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
