The road from Slavia Praga to West Ham United has become a well -shocked late after Hammers landed Senegalese Young People International, El Hadji Malick Diouf in their ranks.

In recent years, both Vladimir Coufal AND Tuloca They have exchanged the Czecheke League for the high English flight and have tried to be extremely successful during their periods in the East of London.

Diouf Following the tracks of Soucek and Coufal

In the case of Soucek, he has become something of a cult hero at the London London Stadium and even won the coveted Hammer of the year for the 2020/21 campaign.

Fate would also decree that when irons won their first big title in over 40 years – the Conference League – the final would be played in SlaviIt is also ground.

It is now the turn of 20-year-old Diouf to prove that he is also done by the right things in order to succeed in the ‘best league in the world’.

‘A very physical style’

Flashscore’s Jakub Dvorak believes the player has every chance to do exactly.

“Malick is aggressive and tough on duel, treats well and has an excellent work rate,” He said. “He is accustomed to playing a very physical style that was typical of Slavia manager Jindrich Trpisovsky. He runs. A lot.

“In the Czecheke League he impressed with his high speed, dynamism, his offensive work and his shooting ability.

“He played in the wing position in the best team in the league, so he didn’t have to defend so much and was a more offensive player with many crosses and passes into the penalty area. Therefore he had a good number attack number.

“In the Premier League, I think the defense can be his weak place, but he is still a very young player who has to learn tactics, and quality protection is part of it.”

‘Dreamndra’ of Diouf to play in EPL

Given that the young man is known to have kept himself in perfect physical condition, it would be a surprise if the opposition attackers would continue to improve it after it was placed in the Premier League.

During his time in Slavia – which began only at the beginning of 2024 – he has become known as a player with a great engine to raise it up and down the field from one to 90 minute.

A player who likes to attack in every opportunity, but who is just as happy taking his foot when asked, West Ham fans will almost certainly love his full -blood engagement for the cause. A reason the player himself is happy to approximate.

“It was a good plan for me”, He was quoted to say.

“I want to tell West Ham supporters, I’m very happy to be here with them. I think we’ll do a very good season this year.

“Everyone wants to come here to play in the Premier League. I think it’s a dream for everyone.”

Excellent shooting accuracy and the rate of conversion

Seven goals and two assists in his 27 first league games Czecheke last season placed the fourth in the Slavia squad, and that the one-four report on the scored goals is a more than acceptable return to one wing.

An accuracy of the 57.1% shooting is better by his teammate, Lukas saleAnd Diouf can claim to have the third best level of conversion to the squad as well (19.4%).

Provod, again, and Thomas Chory Are Slavia’s only players who have had more than the 16th of the young man’s target, while Diouf’s 1667 in the 2024/25 campaign were third in the squad and prove the level of work that Jakub Dvorak i Flashscore refers.

While its ending statistics of 75.7% is not the best, it is still more than acceptable; However, it is still an area of his game that he will quickly need to improve.

This is because only soucek (74.8%), Alphons areola (66.1%), Niclas fullkrug (67.9%), Michail Antonio (70.8%), Lukasz Fabanski (63.5%) and Danny ings (71.6%) are worse – and a number of those players did not play for West Ham for long periods of season 24/25.

If he wants to be a success in his new club, it is not good Diouf becoming another ‘busy stupid’ for Hammers, where he seems to be comprehensive, but when scratching the surface, you find that his work is not actually to scratch or help his team at the levels they are looking for.

Nothing less than 100% effort

That being said, his 229 one-in-one duels and 70 air duels tried to suggest that he is a player he likes to grip, and his 34 solutions to last season’s efforts favorably with his counterparts Ham in the same time frame.

If there is one thing they love down in the London stadium more than everything, it is the players who wear their hearts on the sleeve and give them all because of Claret and Blue. East London loyalists know their football and will accept nothing less than 100%.

If Diouf gives the club every week, then it will be forgiven for any shortcomings.
