Habib Diarra - Player profile 25/26

Habib Diarra, 21, from Senegal ➤ Sunderland AFC, since 2025 ➤ Central Midfield ➤ Market value: €20.00m ➤ * 03.01.2004 in Guédiawaye, Senegal

www.transfermarkt.co.uk

Hopefully more of a LW than AM

Central player, comes deep for the ball and drives forwards.

Playing for Strasbourg will be on Chelseas list at they own his club.

He was hot propety last summer, linked to half the premier league.

Looks a right winger and central midfielder - classic Everton

Looks crap

Looks crap

Are we linked?

Much prefer Preciado of Sparta. Hes gone off the radar…

Doesn’t sound like an easy deal to do, says they don’t want to sell and with Chelsea’s backing they presumably don’t have to.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Depends what the club want. Versatile players are good but if we want a winger, sign a proper winger.

Yeah he doesn’t fit the profile at all for a Gnonto alternative and we have Ndiaye / Lindstrom for the AM slot so we’d presumably be recruiting him primarily as a deeper midfielder. If we’re interested at all.

 

[bluestevon]

Much prefer Preciado of Sparta. Hes gone off the radar…

So you much prefer a journeyman 26yo right back in a farmers league to a 20yo central mid in Germany.

How's that even a compassion to make

Unfortunately looks exactly like a AM. Im betting the rumors we had been working on it for months was because he was our backup option. I would be a bit surprised to see us have any real interest in him now that we have Lindstrom and Ndiaye in, considering he has done absolutely nothing on the wing. All of his goals, assists are all from the midfield.

Due to how active we've been Tony I think we'll be getting used as a link to players by agents etc now

 

[Kylito]

Doesn't seem to hold back Brighton.

Yeah just looking actually, they’ve bought that 18 year old Ivorian kid Yalcouye with 0 caps for just a few million quid and he’s barely even played 10 games for a pretty crap Goteborg. Doesn’t seem that strict at all.

You wanna check your map

When did they move Strasbourg?

 

[Zatara]

Gana is basically our chief scout these days.

Wish those old links to Camara would resurface. The man is toying with me now, linking his international teammate

Surely the Gnonto alternative this lad, listed as an attacking midfielder on transfermarkt but played much of last season out wide by the looks of it

Hes a central player.

Played most of his games last season at CM according to transfermarkt.

Think hes always been CM/ACM. I picked up on him while looking at Camara and seeing him linked everywhere last year.

Yeah I’m a bit unclear on what position we’d be recruiting him for?

Seems to have played a bit of everywhere, which is handy, but you don’t want to fall into the Godfrey “master of none” trap.

He's definitely more a central player looking at him, at 20 probs may not settled on which is his best role yet even.

His stats don't suggest he's that creative etc, but looks to be a strong lad - 5 mins YouTube analysis over and out

Looks a right winger and central midfielder - classic Everton

Hes a central midfielder whose game seems to be picking the ball up deep and running at pace through the middle of the pitch before passing it.

He doesnt fill me with enthusiasm defensively. I noticed hes played on the left a bit as well so could be put into the McNeil role?

A bit left field for me this. Not sure its a real link.
