Club career

[edit]

Youth years

[edit]

Diagne started his football career in GVI,[1] before later moving to F.C. Copenhagen's academy. Diagne was described as a big talent in his younger years, and he also played a reserve team match for Copenhagen at the age of 15 in October 2021.[2] However, he did not manage to establish himself in the club's U-19 squad, which is why he left Copenhagen.

AaB

[edit]

In the fall of 2023 Diagne trained with AaB and in January 2024 the club's sporting director Ole Jan Kappmeier confirmed that they had signed him.[3] Already in the spring, Diagne was twice part of AaB's match squad in the Danish 1st Division and on April 17, 2024, after just four matches in the club's U-19 squad, the club confirmed that they had extended with Diagne until June 2028.[4] On June 2, 2024, Diagne made his official debut for AaB when he replaced Younes Bakiz in the 80th minute and managed to make an assist for Melker Widell's 4–1 score.[5][6]

In July 2024, 18-year-old Diagne was permanently promoted to the first team squad.[7] On August 18, 2024, Diagne made his debut in the Danish Superliga in a match against Brøndby IF.[8][9]
