Impresses in first league start
Diouf registered two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Aston Villa.
Analysis: Diouf made his first Premier League start of the season in his third appearance, operating at left-back and delivering an active performance at both ends of the pitch. The defender attempted two shots and four crosses while also recording four tackles and two clearances, demonstrating his ability to contribute offensively and defensively. His inclusion allowed Keane Lewis-Potter, who had previously occupied the left-back position, to move into a more advanced attacking role.
Limited involvement so far
Diouf has appeared off the bench twice for Brentford so far in the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.
Analysis: 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.
