The Generation Foot winger is set for a move to Europe after impressing with Senegalese youth squads and making a senior national team debut, but Diouf’s choice of team will surprise many given his options.

Diouf reportedly already has an agreement with Metz to join at a later date, according to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, and given his apparent options, many will find his final destination strange.
The left winger came through the Generation Foot academy, just like another Senegalese hero, Sadio Mane, and could be set to follow in the footsteps of the national team captain, with his playing style already being likened to the former Liverpool star.
