Slavia Prague’s El Hadji Malick Diouf has been identified as a target for AFC Bournemouth this summer, according to Africa Foot.
The 20-year-old left Norwegian side Tromsø IL for Slavia Prague in January 2024 and has enjoyed regular minutes this season. He played 41 games and mainly operated as a left wing-back and at times as a left-back.
El Hadji Malick Diouf’s rise at Slavia Prague helped him make debut for Senegal last year. He played for the full 90 minutes as a left-back in his national team’s 3-1 friendly win over England earlier this week.
His performance in Nottingham has seen Bournemouth take notice. The Cherries seem to be one of the several Premier League clubs to have sent their scouts to watch this fixture live in action.
Andoni Iraola’s side have become the latest to show interest in the fullback. Milos Kerkez has been the first choice left-back for Bournemouth and is expected to leave this summer.
Africa Foot state the English club view the Slavia Prague player as an ‘ideal replacement’ for Kerkez.
El Hadji Malick Diouf’s entourage believe this summer is the right time for him to leave. The report further adds Slavia Prague hope to earn €20m from his sale.
If Kerkez were to leave, Bournemouth have the right conditions to sign the Senegalese.
