Club career

[edit]

Nordsjælland

[edit]

Growing up in Wassakara in the Yopougon suburb of the Ivorian capital of Abidjan,[3] Diomande came to the Danish club FC Nordsjælland through the Right to Dream Academy in Ghana. He made his professional debut on 19 February 2020 in a Danish Superliga match against AC Horsens, starting at central midfield in the 6–0 home win before being replaced in the 60th minute by Clinton Antwi.[4] Diomande was subsequently praised by head coach Flemming Pedersen, who stated that "[h]e covers a large area of the pitch [...] he's a good dribbler and physically strong. When he adjusts to the Superliga, he will also become one of our most important players."[5] He finished his first season as a senior player with 15 total appearances.[6]

Diomande scored his first goal for Nordsjælland on 13 September 2020, the first matchday of the 2020–21 season, in a 3–2 loss to Brøndby IF.[7]

Rangers

[edit]

On 26 January 2024, Diomande joined Scottish Premiership side Rangers on a loan with an obligation to buy deal.[8] He made his debut for Rangers on 6 February 2024, coming on as a 85th minute substitute, replacing Todd Cantwell during a Scottish Premiership match at home to Aberdeen.

He scored his first Rangers goal in a 3–0 victory away to St Johnstone on 18 February 2024.

International career

[edit]

Born in the Ivory Coast, Diomande is of Ghanaian descent.[9] He was called up to the Ivory Coast U23s in March 2023. He has since been called up to the Ghana National Team due to his early career.[10]

Diomande made his debut for the Ivory Coast national team on 7 June 2024 in a World Cup qualifier against Gabon at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium. He substituted Jean Michaël Seri in the 78th minute of a 1–0 Ivory Coast victory.[11]
