Mohamed Diame

I don’t currently have much to say on Mohamed Diame except that I think it was a good signing in terms of bringing more creativity to the pitch. To have someone creative on your club in the Championship will minimize the need for extra physical play.

Diame is a strong passer, and I think he’ll bring a lot to Newcastle United in terms of playmaking and creativity. He’s a strong addition to Matt Ritchie and will definitely help with Ayoze Perez and Dwight Gayle.

Having scored nine goals last season in the Championship with Hull City, it can’t hurt to have Diame on our side.
