Despite only being 22 years of age, the keeper is already a very safe pair of hands for Ligue One side Stade de Reims.

One of the reasons Will Still’s team finished midtable, rather than near the relegation places, last season was down to Diouf and his shot-stopping abilities.


You only have to compare his post-shot xG against the actual goals conceded to see what a difference he made to his team.

Diouf had a +7.0 score, which means he let in seven fewer goals than the average keeper. In terms of the top five European leagues, he finished 9th on that metric.
