Assane Diao, born on 7 September 2005 (age 20), is a Senegalese left-sided winger with Como, where he wears squad number 38. His market value is around £25.5m, according to Transfermarkt, which tells its own story about how quickly his profile has risen.
His most productive league spell so far came at Como in 2024-25, when he scored eight goals in 15 appearances. That is a tidy return for a wide player, and it gives some substance to the interest around him rather than leaving it all in the usual haze of potential.
In 2026-27, Diao has made two Serie A appearances for Como. He has also been involved with Senegal this season, making one World Cup appearance and playing twice in African World Cup qualifiers.
Diao remains a young forward at an important stage of his career: already productive in Italy, already capped in meaningful international football, and still with plenty of development ahead of him.
