Equipe du Sénégal : Bamba Dieng prêt à bousculer la hiérarchie
Bamba Dieng is on fire. Against Nice, the Senegalese striker scored another goal to confirm his dazzling form. Having failed to score in his first nine matches with Lorient, Bamba Dieng has been completely transformed since late 2025/early 2026. Since his goal drought, the Senegalese striker has been racking up goal after goal, to the point where he's back in the running for the number 9 spot for the Senegalese national team.
"My brother, I want you to smash it. I want to see you at the World Cup." These words, spoken just after the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, were from Pape Gueye to his friend and former teammate at Olympique de Marseille, Bamba Dieng. Today, this wish of the only Senegalese goalscorer in an AFCON final has never been closer to being fulfilled.
Since December 20th and the French Cup match against Gosier, Bamba Dieng has been unstoppable. That day, he scored a hat trick, kick-starting a run of 9 goals in his last 10 matches. His latest goal came yesterday in the 3-3 draw between Nice and Lorient. With the March international break just weeks away, a comeback for the 2022 African champion seems inevitable.
Especially since none of the players leading Senegal's attack have truly established themselves. During the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Nicolas Jackson was the most used player. However, the Chelsea loanee isn't getting adequate playing time at Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, Boulaye Dia is struggling to find his form this season. His only goal of the 2025-2026 campaign dates back to August 31st. For his part, Habib Diallo has been inconsistent with Metz, while Chérif Ndiaye hasn't really convinced in his recent appearances for the Lions.
With his performances and sparkling form, Bamba Dieng could shake up the hierarchy at the forefront of the attack.
