His new club plays football and it will be a good choice. Even if he has problems to make an impact because of the physicality in the Premier League I think he will be good for the style of football Southampton play He never gets under stress; he keeps very calm “It took him a long time to settle in the team but his coach always showed trust in him He could play 20 games because of COVID-19 stopping the season and also as he had an injury “He only played 20 games or something at a very good level but that was enough to convince a Premier League team.” Had things turned out differently for Southampton The St Mary’s hierarchy thought they had a deal in the bag for Ibrahim Sangare A fee had been agreed with Toulouse and personal terms weren’t an issue Sangare was denied a visa at the final hurdle eventually leading to him signing for PSV Eindhoven This meant Southampton had to act quickly to ensure Ralph Hasenhuttl wasn’t left short in midfield there are plenty of boxes that need ticking to play the No 6 role in his team “They definitely need to cover some distance and be aggressive against the ball knowing when to keep and pass the ball and also having some acceleration,” said Hasenhuttl “I think from what I have seen (of Diallo) so far shows us a lot of these qualities.” getting them to play for your club is another Southampton weren’t the only side interested in buying him Fellow Premier League teams Leicester and Arsenal are believed to have been admirers were toying with the idea of bringing him back to the principality The Athletic’s source revealed Diallo turned to Abdou to help guide him on his next move explaining: “He always follows the advice of his brother.” so did the initial meeting between Hasenhuttl and Diallo you can be sure that I speak with everybody,” Hasenhuttl revealed “I must say that it was a very smart dialogue He asked a lot of questions and that is normal for players His party are a group which knows what they want as the next step for him.” Thanks to new rules introduced last week for elite sports Diallo was able to travel to the United Kingdom from France for a medical without having to quarantine the defensive midfielder had to return a negative COVID-19 test before stepping foot on the plane he was able to make the trip across the Channel and complete his medical on Saturday Unlike Mohammed Salisu Diallo is expected to start challenging for a spot in Hasenhuttl’s starting XI straight away walking into the first team isn’t guaranteed Oriol Romeu hasn’t done anything that warrants him being dropped — and even scored a stunning volley in Sunday’s 2-0 win against West Brom Diallo’s physicality, as referenced by The Athletic’s source, could result in the midfielder needing time to adapt to the rigours of the Premier League.
