Club career

Early career

Diakité played for Le Bourget and Torcy, before joining Nancy in 2007.

Nancy

On 27 December 2009, he signed his first professional contract after agreeing to a two-year deal with Nancy.[2][3] He made his professional debut on 27 January 2010 in a Coupe de France match against Plabennec.[4]

Queens Park Rangers (loan)

On 29 January 2012, he agreed a deal to join Premier League team Queens Park Rangers on loan for the remainder of the season with a view to a permanent switch in the summer of 2012.[5] He made his debut on 25 February 2012 in a 1–0 defeat, at home against Fulham, where he was sent-off after just 33 minutes for a second bookable offence.[6] Diakité scored his first goal, a winning goal, for Queens Park Rangers in a 2–1 victory over London rivals Arsenal on 31 March 2012.[7]

Queens Park Rangers

On 27 June, it was announced by Queens Park Rangers that they had completed the permanent signing of Diakité on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee believed to be £3.5million.[8][9] Up until his loan move to Watford, he made 14 appearances for the R's that season.

Watford (loan)

On 31 January 2014, Diakité joined Watford on loan for the remainder of the 2013–14 season.[10]

Diakité made his Watford debut as an 88th-minute substitute for Cristian Battocchio in the 2-0 win over Brighton on 2 February 2014.[11]

However, on his full debut against Middlesbrough on 15 February 2014, Diakité was shown a straight red card early in the second half for a two-footed lunge on Dean Whitehead.[12]

Ittihad FC (loan)

On 19 July 2014, Diakité joined Ittihad FC on a season long loan.[13] He was recalled by Queens Park Rangers at the end of the January transfer window, having made seven appearances and scoring one goal, during his time at the Saudi Arabian club.[14]

International career

On 24 January 2012, he made his senior international debut for Mali at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, in the 1–0 victory against Guinea.[15] In total, he has made nineteen appearances for his country, scoring four goals. His form for his country in the tournament helped them reach the semi-finals, and helped earn him a move to Queens Park Rangers.
