Bamba Dieng’s sensational deadline day transfer story

Bamba Dieng had the most bizarre transfer tale in recent memory, with the player undergoing a deadline day disaster. It so turns out that he woke up on the last day of the transfer window with no clue where he was headed. 

Leeds United were confident that they had reached an agreement with Marseille for the forward. And they had also agreed personal terms over a move for the Senegalese. 

Bamba Dieng fails Nice medical after snubbing Leeds United at airport

Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani even welcomed the Senegalese to the club on Twitter, and went on to lay down ambitions to sign Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven. The Dutchman ended up staying at his club, since it was impossible to sign him that late in the transfer window. 

Nice later intervened, and their offer came in when the player was at the airport. Despite their bid to hijack the transfer way too late, it seemed like they were about to get away with it.

And so, after originally deciding on Leeds, Bamba Dieng made a U-turn and took the flight to Nice. However, he went on to fail the medical and the transfer was called off as a result. Dieng has now returned to Marseille and will feature for them in the coming season. 

The 22-year-old could also have to deal with a knee issue, which was revealed by the medical. However, he remains among the most talented members of the squad after his failed transfer.
