Crystal Palace Tracking Oumar Diakite
Crystal Palace is keeping a close eye on Ivory Coast attacker Oumar Diakite, who plays for French club Reims. The 20-year-old caught the attention of Palace's Dougie Freedman after scoring against Paris Saint-Germain last week.
Diakite as an Alternative Option
With their initial target, Senegal's Iliman Ndiaye, now settled at Marseille, Crystal Palace sees Diakite as a potential alternative. Diakite struggled to make an impact during his time at RB Salzburg but has shown promise since joining Reims last summer.
Diakite's Performance and Achievements
Having registered 23 goal contributions in 35 matches for Salzburg's second team, Diakite has continued to impress. His recent goal against PSG marked his fourth of the season, with an additional assist in a recent draw. He has also represented Ivory Coast, winning the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year.
Ndiaye Update
Crystal Palace had previously shown interest in Ndiaye but have shifted their focus to Diakite following Ndiaye's success at Marseille. Ndiaye has been a key player for Marseille, scoring twice and providing an assist in their recent winning streak in Ligue 1.
