Zié Diabaté, a 23-year-old Ivorian left back playing for Dijon in Ligue 2 (France), has been loaned to Belgian Jupiler Pro League club Standard de Liège for the remainder of the season. The loan deal includes an option for Standard de Liège to make the transfer permanent.
Diabaté, who had limited playing time at Dijon during the first phase of the season, will look to make a more significant impact at Standard de Liège. Having played just one match for Dijon in the initial phase, the Ivorian defender will aim to contribute more to his new club in the Belgian top-flight league. The loan move provides Diabaté with an opportunity for a fresh start and increased playing opportunities in the second half of the season.
