El Hadji Ndiaye: Senegal Forward Joins Artis Brno from Zlin in Chance Liga Move

El Hadji Ndiaye has completed a permanent move to Artis Brno from fellow Czech side FC Zlin, with the 26-year-old centre-forward switching clubs ahead of the 202627 Chance Liga season. The transfer between the two Czech outfits has been finalised, with no fee disclosed, and Ndiaye arrives in Brno with a current market value of 200,000.

The Dakar-born striker, who stands at 1.90m and plays predominantly as a central forward with his right foot, moves after a spell on Zlins books that included a recent loan at Slezsky FC Opava. He returned to Zlin at the end of that loan on 30 June 2026 before sealing his transfer to Artis Brno just over a week later.

Ndiayes market value has risen sharply over the past year. After a period of decline at Zlin, where his valuation fell to 25,000 by June 2025, his time at Opava saw a significant recovery, climbing back to 125,000 in September 2025 and reaching 200,000 by December, a level he retained into May 2026. That resurgence underlines the trajectory he brings into his new club.

Before moving to the Czech Republic in 2023, Ndiaye played in France for Thonon Evian Grand Geneve FC and Athletic Club Arlesien, following earlier spells in Senegal with AS des Douanes and ASC Niarry-Tally Grand-Dakar Biscuiterie. His path from Senegalese youth football into European leagues provides Artis Brno with a forward experienced in adapting to new environments.

Ndiaye now joins Artis Brno as a senior attacking option within the same national league structure he knows from his time at Zlin and Opava.
