Ahmadou Bamba Dieng
25-Year-Old
Lorient
Ligue 1
Four shots off bench
Dieng had four shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 3-1 win versus Nice.
ANALYSIS
Dieng entered in the 79th minute and immediately gave Lorient a fresh outlet up front, attacking space behind a tiring Nice defence. He attempted four shots, heading over from a free kick before twice going close in stoppage time, including a sequence where he hit the post and then saw his follow up header superbly saved by Yehvann Diouf. His movement dragged center backs around and helped Lorient relieve pressure as they protected their advantage late in the game. Even without a goal, Dieng's aggressive outing underlined the depth of attacking options at coach Olivier Pantaloni's disposal, despite being considered out of the club plans earlier in the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Leeds won't chase him again
Leeds are not expected to make another move for Bamba Dieng, according to Express Online.
ANALYSIS
Leeds United are unlikely to revive their interest in the 22-year-old Senegal and Marseille striker, as they attempted to sign him on transfer deadline day but failed miserably. Leeds should remain active in the transfer market, though.
