1 goal in 27 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 4 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 5 goal contributions (0.19 per appearance).

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 64.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Output. 0.23 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 26.7, Diabaté carries the 18th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Süper Lig of 31, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Kasımpaşa finished 13th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.23 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~7), then tapers with age. At 30, Diabaté sits on 3.3, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Diabaté's projected Rating — 26.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
