Ousmane Diao, hailing from Senegal, was born on the 8th of June 2004, making him a sprightly 21. As a key member of FC Midtjylland's defence, he primarily fills the role of a central defender. He cuts quite the imposing figure, standing at 6ft 1in (1.87m) and weighing in at 12st 6lb (79kg). You'll spot him defending the honour of his team in the number 4 jersey.
The young Senegalese international's current market value is estimated to be around £6m, something you may want to keep in mind while perusing football publications such as Transfermarkt.
He initiated his professional career in earnest with the 2022-2023 season at Mafra in Portugal, making a respectable 13 appearances with the first team. His sophomore year proved even more fruitful, featuring 33 first team appearances with a pair of goals finding the back of the net.
His career took him to the colder climes of Denmark for the seasons 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 with FC Midtjylland. During these sojourns abroad he put in 25 and to-date 6 first team performances respectively, booting home a total of four goals in his first year.
Diao has also tasted the hustle and bustle of European football, first during the Europa League Qualifiers 2025-2026, in which he participated once as a substitute. Following that, he scored twice during three starts in the 2025-2026 Europa League games for FC Midtjylland. Certainly, a young talent to watch for in the years to come.
