There's much to be said about Gaoussou Diarra, a young man from Mali, born on a blistering day of 21 November 2002. Now at the age of 23, this forward delivers his magic on the field, primarily from the left flank for Feyenoord. You'll often find him charging down the pitch in his number 27 jersey. The lad stands tolerant at around 6 feet tall (1.83m) and boasts a solid weight of 12st 8lb (80kg) - clearly no stranger to the gym.
From Mali to Rotterdam, Diarra has certainly marked his spot on the football map. With a market value of approximately £2.03m, according to Transfermarkt, the winger is shimmering promisingly in the world of football.
Diarra certainly delivered a statement of intent in his professional football debut season in 2024-25, pulling on Istanbulspor's jersey in the Turkish league. He made a strong first impression by stepping onto the pitch 33 times as part of the first team and found the back of the net 15 times - Not too shabby, eh?
Moving onwards and upwards to the Dutch terrain, Diarra made it twice to the first team squad for Feyenoord in the 2025-26 season.
Adding to his resume, Diarra didn't just strut his stuff in domestic games, he also broke onto the international scene. He represented Mali in the World Cup Qualifiers Africa 2024-26, scoring a hard-earned goal in his single start and displaying his skills in three more games as a substitute. He later emerged in the global limelight with Europa League 2025-26, again making one start and second appearance from the bench for Feyenoord.
