El Hadji Malick Diouf - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Limited involvement so far Diouf has appeared off the bench twice for Brentford so far in the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.

Impact Diouf joined the Bees on a five-year deal from West Ham United in the final days of the transfer window, but he's yet to secure a starting role with the club. Keane Lewis-Potter has started every game at left-back thus far in the Premier League, and Rico Henry is another option at left-back, meaning Diouf will have to work hard to see playing time in the near future.

Impact Diouf sent in eight crosses, created three chances and put a shot on goal Sunday, and he still couldn't get on the scoresheet. It was excellent volume, but awful efficiency for him and the rest of the attack. It's a frustrating loss, and means he only has one more match remaining in the Premier League.

Impact Diouf provided one assist during Saturday's clash, as well as creating a pair of chances.

Solid display against Bournemouth Diouf recorded one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Bournemouth.

Impact Diouf generated all kinds of defensive actions while winning 13 of his 17 individual duels in the draw. The young defender has emerged as a valuable all-around asset, although the Hammers' lack of possession limits his passing and playmaking upside. He'll be expected to retain the starting spot on the left side of a back four in upcoming fixtures.

Impact Diouf was the spark on the opener, shaking free from Crysencio Summerville's flick before whipping in a perfect cross that Taty Castellanos nodded home to give the lead to the Hammers. He consistently caused Burnley issues down the left, picking his spots to get forward while still putting in the defensive work once the match turned scrappy after halftime. That decisive delivery shifted the game from a tense one goal battle to a controlled performance, and Diouf backed it up with an all around shift, creating two chances while holding his own defensively with one tackle, three interceptions and four clearances.

He has three assists in 16 appearances (15 starts) since joining West Ham.
