by

In the person of Pape Sheikh Diop (8/8/2017) Aris finds the player he is looking for in the midfield, given that the renewal with Jego is doubtful and with Matija there does not seem to be any intention to stay.

Sheikh Diop is a Senegalese but also has a Spanish passport after moving to Spain at just one month old.

He started playing football in Montanieros in Galicia and in 2013 he joined the infrastructure departments of Thelta. He made his debut for Thelta’s second team on 23 August 2014 and eight days later scored his first goal against UP Langreo.

On August 11, 2015, he signed a five-year contract with Vigo’s team. He made his La Liga debut on December 12, replacing Nolito in the victory over Espanyol. He was only 18 years old. Sheikh Diop scored his first goal in the Primera on November 27, 2016, scoring the last goal in the 3-1 victory over Granada.

In January that followed, he extended his contract until 2021. On August 29, 2017, Lyon acquired him for five years, spending ten million plus four more as possible bonuses. In August 2019, due to his small participation, he returned to Thelta on loan for one year, playing 16 games.

In total in Thelta he counted 46 matches with one goal. The following season, he was loaned out again, this time to Dijon, which also had a purchase option of 5m euros. He played in 21 matches (13 basic). This year she has only one participation with the second team of Lyon, of which she has worn her jersey 25 times in total.

At a young age he played in all the small national teams of Spain with which he won the European U19 Championship in 2015, but finally chose the National Team of Senegal with which he has played three times making his debut on October 9, 2020 in a friendly against Morocco.

He has a height of 1.80, his good foot is the right one and he played both as an eight and as a defensive midfielder. Aris is trying to get the player either on loan or free.
