Senegalese defender El Hadji Malick Diouf has joined West Ham United from Slavia Prague in a £19 million transfer.
Although many clubs showed interest in him, he chose West Ham United because he believed it would be a better step for his career.
The 20-year-old primarily plays as a left wing-back but is also capable of playing as a left-back.
Having left Senegal at the age of 18, Diouf has continuously improved his game and taken significant steps toward reaching his full potential.
Speaking about his transfer, the young player said:
“I want to say to the West Ham supporters I’m very happy to be here with them. I think we’ll make a very good season this year.”
“Everyone wants to come here to play in the Premier League. I think it is a dream for everyone.”
