Assane Diao, born on 7 September 2005 (age 20), is a Senegal international who plays primarily from the left wing for Como. He wears squad number 38 and is valued at around £25.5m by Transfermarkt.
His sharpest league return so far came at Como in 2024-25, when he scored eight goals in 15 appearances. That is the sort of output that moves a young wide player from interesting prospect to someone being watched a little more carefully.
In 2026-27, Diao has made one Serie A appearance for Como. He has also been involved with Senegal, making one World Cup appearance and two in African World Cup qualifying this season.
Diao’s career is still in its early stages, but the outline is clear enough: a young Senegalese winger at Como, already capped on the international stage and with one productive Serie A season behind him.
