Output in context · Nice finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
8 goals in 35 appearances (0.23 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a relegation-threatened side. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 11 goal contributions (0.31 per appearance).
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 69.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Final-third output. 0.44 goal contributions per 90 (0.32 goals, 0.12 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.92 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
Outlook
With a Rating of 69.6, Diop carries the 12th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 28%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nice finished 16th 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 productive contributor (0.44 goal contributions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
