Le Havre AC are being linked with a move for Dijon right-back Ismail Diallo as the Ligue 1 side assess defensive options ahead of the new campaign.
The 22-year-old, who holds both French and Senegalese nationality, is currently playing for Dijon in France’s Championnat National, with his future the subject of growing speculation. Transfermarkt lists his market value at €600,000, a figure that would represent a relatively low-cost investment for Le Havre as they look to strengthen at full-back.
Diallo’s current contract situation at Dijon is unclear, with no expiry date publicly recorded, fuelling talk that he could become a free agent or be available at a reduced fee if negotiations fail to progress. The reported probability of a move remains unspecified (“?”), underlining that talks are at an early, rumour stage rather than an advanced transfer.
Born in Champigny-sur-Marne on 23 August 2003, Diallo has developed into a modern right-back, standing at 1.82m and operating primarily on his favoured right foot. He wears the number 2 shirt for Dijon and is listed as a defender whose main position is right-back, with Dijon FCO recorded as his current club at senior level.
In recent weeks he has continued to feature in Championnat National for Dijon, including their latest fixtures in May 2026, as he looks to maintain form and fitness while speculation over his future continues. Detailed statistics from those matches are not disclosed in the current data, but his regular involvement has helped keep him on the radar of clubs higher up the French pyramid.
With Le Havre established in Ligue 1 and searching for emerging talent, a switch from third-tier Dijon to Normandy would represent a significant step up. If the move materialises, it could provide Diallo with a platform to elevate his reputation in French football and push for recognition at a higher competitive level.
