Strasbourg set to sign Pape Demba Diop from Zulte Waregem

According to Fabrizio Romano, RC Strasbourg Alsace have reached an agreement to sign Pape Demba Diop (21) from Zulte Waregem in the Belgian First Division B. 

The midfielder has made 31 appearances across all competitions for Zulte Waregem this season and registered six goals and six assists. A significant improvement from the previous season (his first in Europe after arriving in 2022 from Senegalese side Diambars FC), where he only played 12 times and scored once and assisted once. 

Strasbourg have been committed under the BlueCo ownership to locating and securing young talent with high ceilings for growth, and it appears that Diop could be the next in line for the team as they look to strengthen their options in midfield. 

The Ligue 1 side have a busy summer ahead of them as they try to strengthen their midfield, particularly with Andrey Santos returning to his parent club Chelsea FC, and Habib Diarra linked with a move away.
