Assane Diao, born on 7 September 2005 (age 20), is a Senegal international left winger with Como. He wears the number 38 shirt and, while still early in his senior career, has already become a regular first-team presence rather than a prospect being kept for odd minutes.
His most productive league spell so far came with Como in 2024-2025, when he scored eight goals in 15 appearances. That is the season that pushed his profile on, and his current market value is around £25.5m, according to Transfermarkt. That valuation says plenty about the market, as much as the player, but it also reflects a forward who has made himself hard to ignore.
In 2025-2026, Diao has remained involved for Como, making 17 Serie A appearances and scoring twice, along with three Coppa Italia outings. He has also represented Senegal this season, with two appearances in African World Cup qualifying.
Diao’s career is still taking shape, but the outline is clear enough: a young Senegal winger at Como, coming off a strong scoring season and continuing to hold a place in the senior side.
