Papa Amadou Diallo has officially signed with Norwich City FC this Thursday, July 24. The Senegalese forward arrives from FC Metz in France, aiming to make his mark in the English Championship this season.

Papa Amadou Diallo becomes the latest attacking addition for the Canaries, who secured his signature despite competition from several European clubs. Developed at Génération Foot, the 2022 CHAN Africa Champion joined Metz in February 2023, where he emerged as one of the team’s key offensive threats. With 7 goals in 33 matches across all competitions for the Grenats last season, his versatile profile and ability to play on the wings caught the eye of Norwich’s sporting directors.

"Norwich City have completed the signing of Senegalese winger Papa Amadou Diallo from Metz (Ligue 2) for an undisclosed fee. The Senegal international signs a four-year contract, with an option for an additional year, and will wear the number 19," announced the English club.

Now a Norwich City FC player, Papa Amadou Diallo arrives in England’s second division for his first experience abroad.

"I’ve always dreamed of playing in England. This is something new for me, but I’m ready to take on the challenge ahead. I always wanted to play for Norwich City. I’m excited about the club’s project and vision, and I can’t wait to get to England to meet my new teammates and the fans," said the Senegalese forward enthusiastically.
