A big, powerful attacking player who can play as a midfielder or forward, Mo Diamé is a product of France’s famed Clairefontaine national football centre and he represented Senegal at international level
Born in Creteil, a southeastern suburb of Paris, he began his professional career at Lens in 2003 - representing the club’s ‘B’ side - before moving to Spain to join CD Linares in 2007.
Mo spent the 2008/09 season with Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish second tier before heading to England, where he has represented Wigan Athletic, West Ham United and Hull City.
