Defender Diagne signed from Metz in £350,000 deal
Freiburg have signed Fallou Diagne from Metz after the defender was recommended by compatriot Papiss Demba Cisse.
Twenty-two-year-old centre-back Diagne has arrived on a contract until June 2016 after a transfer fee of €424,000 (£350,000) was agreed between the two clubs.
And Freiburg general manager Dirk Dufner has revealed star man Cisse played a key role in the transfer having himself moved from Metz and sharing the same agents as Diagne.
Dufner told
Badische Zeitung regarding Diagne: "I am able to confirm he has arrived.
"He is a defender and from his style he looks different to those central defenders we currently have under contract.
"We talked to Papiss before moving for Fallou Diagne."
