Krépin Diatta

Analysis: Diatta was close to assisting Nicolas Jackson as Senegal lost 3-1 to France. Diatta played a brilliant ball over the top, and Jackson put a brilliant shot past Maignan. Jackson was a metre offside, and the goal that would have brought them back to 1-1 was disallowed. The right back was incredibly busy with some of the best players in the world up against him. He won all five of his tackles and made one interception.

Attacking full-back for Senegal

Diatta has been named in Senegal's World Cup squad and is expected to start at right-back under coach Pape Thiaw, also potentially taking on set-piece responsibilities for the Lions heading into the tournament.

Analysis: Diatta contributed one assist and 13 key passes alongside 31 tackles across 18 Ligue 1 appearances including 10 starts this season with Monaco, with his campaign disrupted by injuries that limited his ability to build consistent momentum at club level. His attacking instincts, delivery from wide areas and set-piece quality give Senegal an additional creative weapon on the right flank, and his ability to combine defensive solidity with attacking ambition makes him a well-rounded right-back option for manager Pape Thiaw's system. For Senegal, Diatta's technical ability and offensive output from the right-back position add a dynamic and unpredictable dimension to the team's attacking play, and his set-piece delivery could prove a valuable weapon in a tournament where dead-ball situations can prove decisive.
