Guinean forward Ousmane Diaby has officially signed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Turkish side Keçiörengücü SK, marking a pivotal moment in his rapidly rising career.
Diaby impressed across Northern Cyprus last season, scoring 26 goals in just 13 appearances for TSK Çetinkaya.
His prolific form made him one of the league’s most feared forwards and attracted attention from multiple European clubs during the winter transfer window.
However, his team and agent, Souleymane Youla, prioritized a move that would allow the striker to develop steadily while gaining exposure in a competitive European environment.
“Ousmane had many offers, even within Turkey, but we decided Keçiörengücü was the best option.
The club trusts young players and provides them with opportunities to grow. We saw this as a good stepping stone toward the highest level of European football.”
Diaby’s journey from the streets of Conakry to professional football demonstrates both talent and determination.
He began at the Monuments Libres Academy of Kaloum (MLK), where Youla first identified his potential.
Since then, the striker has navigated trials and early stints in Turkey, gradually adapting to European football’s demands.
“It’s truly satisfying to see this young player take such a significant step forward,” Youla added. “Ousmane finished as the top scorer in the Cypriot league, proving his maturity and confirming he’s a true goalscorer.
He hasn’t yet reached his full potential, but this transfer shows he’s on the right trajectory.”
Diaby’s move to Keçiörengücü represents a carefully planned progression. The Turkish club has a reputation for nurturing young talents, giving them the platform to showcase their abilities in a professional setting before moving on to bigger leagues.
As he joins Keçiörengücü, Diaby aims to continue his momentum, adapt to the rigours of Turkish football, and make an impact that could open doors to Europe’s top competitions.
His agent remains confident that with continued focus and development, Diaby will soon become a household name across European football.
