West Ham United announced the signing of Senegalese international El Hadji Malick Diouf. The 20-year-old left-back joins the Hammers from Slavia Prague, where he played a key role in winning the Czech Republic league title last season. The transfer fee is approximately 22 million euros, which could rise to 25 million euros with bonuses.

El Hadji Malick Diouf is being monitored by other European clubs. Slavia Prague, who paid 2.5 million Euros for Diouf in January 2024, now expects a transfer fee over 10 million Euros for him.

Eight English clubs are interested in signing El Hadji Malick Diouf, a Senegalese defender currently playing for Slavia Prague. His market value is approximately 2.5 million euros, but due to high interest, he could break the club's transfer record.

Crystal Palace have shown interest in signing 19-year-old left-wing-back El Hadji Malick Diouf from Slavia Prague, as reported by the Daily Mail. The struggling Premier League team is keen to bolster their defense during the January transfer window, identifying the young left-wing back as one of their potential signings. Diouf started his career in Senegal before moving to Tromso in Norway in February 2023, after a successful trial. He later joined Slavia Prague during the January 2024 transfer window, where he signed a four-and-a-half-year contract. Diouf has had an impressive 2024/25 season, recording six goals and two assists in the Czech top division.
