Norwich City Signs Senegalese Winger Papa Amadou Diallo From Metz

Norwich City FC has signed Senegalese winger Papa Amadou Diallo from FC Metz on a four-year contract, with an option for an additional year, marking his first experience outside France. The 21-year-old, who has been capped seven times by Senegal, impressed last season by scoring 7 goals in 29 Ligue 2 appearances and helped Metz achieve promotion to Ligue 1. The transfer fee is reported to be around £4.3 million (€4.5 million), with Norwich winning the race for his signature despite interest from other clubs such as Slavia Prague and Watford. Diallo expressed excitement about joining Norwich, highlighting his dream to play in England and enthusiasm for the club's project and vision. Norwich's sporting director, Ben Knapper, praised Diallo as a player with enormous potential who will add pace and directness to the team's attack. Diallo becomes the ninth signing of the transfer window under manager Liam Manning, who also recently signed Jeffrey Schlupp from Crystal Palace.
