Watch points

  • Game time. Only 48.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 58.8, Diongu carries the 8th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Ligue 2 (top 29%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 20 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (98/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 20, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
