Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Diomande.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 24 → 9). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 70. At 22 Diomande is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 80.1 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Nottingham Forest finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 5 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th 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.
Strengths
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 90.5/100).
- Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
Rated 70.3 overall — elite — among the best in the position. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.88 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
