Samba Diatara profiles as a left-back with a focus on defensive duties, but his current statistical performance places him in the bottom tier of his positional peers. Despite his durability, having missed no games in the last three seasons, he struggles to make an impact in key metrics such as touches and accurate long balls, limiting his effectiveness in build-up play. A need for development in offensive contributions is evident for Diatara to elevate his game in the Allsvenskan.
Availability: no injuries recorded in the last 3 seasons.
