About Dioni
Dioni embodies the role of a seasoned target man, offering experience and a physical presence up front. While his Sofascore rating places him in the bottom tier of his peers, his durability is a significant asset, with no games missed in three seasons. However, he struggles to create big chances or contribute defensively, which limits his impact in key moments.
Availability: no injuries recorded in the last 3 seasons.
