Africa Cup 2017 Qualifiers Fallou Diagne

 

German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen have signed Senegal defender Fallou Diagne from French Ligue 1 club Rennes on a three-year deal.

The 26-year-old Senegal central defender Fallou Diagne, who plays predominantly at centre-back, was a regular in the Rennes match-day squad last season, playing 24 games and scoring five goals.

He joined from German club SC Freiburg in 2014 having made 65 appearances for the Breisgau-Brasilianer during a two-season spell.

Werder Bremen sporting director Frank Baumann believes the club has made a great addition with the signing of the Teranga Lion.

"Fallou is a very well trained player, who has recently taken the next step in his development," Baumann told the club website.

"At 26 years old, he's already a seasoned central defender, who has gained experience both internationally in France as well as in the Bundesliga with SC Freiburg.

"Fallou is strong in the tackle and is also very versatile.

Diagne moved to France from Senegalese side AS Génération Foot in 2007 and made the step up into the French top flight from the renowned FC Metz academy in 2008.

He made his international debut as a substitute in the 2:0 friendly win against Rwanda in May.
