Assane Diao, born on 7 September 2005 (age 21), is a Senegalese left winger whose senior career is already centred firmly on Como. He wears the number 11 and has built his early reputation there, with 37 league appearances and 12 league goals across three seasons.
His sharpest league return came in 2024–25, when he scored eight times in 15 appearances for Como. That is the spell which gives his profile its substance rather than promise alone: direct output from wide areas, delivered early in a career still taking shape.
In 2026–27, he has made five Serie A appearances and scored twice, while also adding a goal in one Champions League appearance. Across all competitions for Como this season, he has six appearances and three goals. He has also represented Senegal, with one World Cup appearance and two World Cup Qualifiers Africa appearances.
His current market value is around £25.5m, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, Diao’s career is a Como story: a young Senegal international, productive from the left, and already carrying a sizeable valuation.
