Club career

Diaw began his career in the youth teams of Paris Saint-Germain. He made one senior appearance, playing 17 minutes in a friendly against TSV Hartberg on 8 July 2014.[1]

After being released by Paris Saint-Germain in 2015, Diaw signed for Portuguese Segunda Liga outfit Mafra on 29 July 2015.[2]

In April 2017, Diaw went on trial with EFL Championship side Leeds United.[3]

He joined Bulgarian side Lokomotiv Plovdiv in July 2017.[4] Following a short and successful trial period, on 8 July 2017 he signed a 2-year contract.[5]

In 2019, Diaw joined FC United Zürich in Switzerland.[6] In June 2019, he signed for second-tier Swiss club FC Lausanne-Sport, where he replaced the injured second goalkeeper Dany Da Silva[7]

Personal life

During his time at Paris Saint-Germain, Diaw became a trending topic on social media site Twitter after a string of obscene tweets posted by his account. Tweets included vulgar jokes and even posting the phone number of teammate Zlatan Ibrahimović.[8][9] Club officials were quick to address the issue, claiming Diaw's account had been hacked.[10] The tweets have since been deleted.

He is of Senegalese descent.[11]
