Abdoulaye Diaby
 
Age: 25 years
 
Nationality: Mali
 
Current Team: Club Brugge
 
This week we have a striker from the Belgium Jupiter League who plays for Club Brugge.
 
He is a striker who can also play on the wings.
 
As a winger he can give the team assists, and he is a danger with his pace and crosses into the box.
 
Also as a poacher up front he can sniff out goals.
 
If the team plays to his strengths he is extremely effective and could be good working off a targetman.
 
Diaby is a real poacher who is also dangerous when on the ball, and he can get himself out of tight situations.
 
He has a great appetite for the game, works hard to score goals and will always be alert for loose balls.
 
He finishes with both feet but is predominately left footed.
 
This is a player who could do very well in the Premier League or start in the Championship as a stepping stone.
 
He is almost Defoe like if I had to compare him to a striker in the Premier League.
 
He has a lot of pace and defences need to be alert if the service is right to him.
 
Deadly when gets a chance in the box.
 
He scored 16 league goals in Belgium for Club Brugge where they won the league.
 
A very successful campaign overall.
