Gaoussou Diakité

Gaoussou Diakité is a 19 years old Malian U23 international who stands at 1.82m tall. An explosive left winger of average height, he has a strong change of pace. He runs well, finds depth, and finishes well in front of the goalkeeper. He's strong in one-on-one situations, controls the play, and hides the ball well from the opponent. He contributes defensively, reads the game well, and closes down spaces.

Left winger of average height (182 cm), fast, agile, explosive who demonstrates a strong change of speed. He has a good relationship with the ball, has a good first touch to guide the ball to his next action and is good at unmark himself from the opponent. A dynamic player, he's strong and irreverent in offensive one-on-one situations, using it to outrun opponents and then drive into the final third or lay the ball deep for his teammates to run into. He excels in tight spaces, demonstrating quality short dribbling and hiding the ball well from opponents. He appears between the lines to combine with midfielders and has an excellent ability to find depth, often finding himself alone with the goalkeeper, where he displays quality finishing. Defensively, he's a committed player, reads the game well, intercepts several balls, and closes spaces. His main area of focus is his ball control when driving. A player with potential who is having a great start to the season with Lausanne, on loan from RB Salzburg, having already scored three goals in five games. In the near future, I see him returning to Salzburg to be an undisputed starter and explode and be one of the Austrian club's next big sales.
