Mohamed Diarra
Guinean rising star Mohamed Diarra has completed a four-year deal with Danish side Odense from French Ligue 1 club Paris Saint Germain, where the 19-year-old defensive midfielder has been horning his skills for the past years.
Diarra said he agreed to move from the French capital club after realising he would not be given adequate opportunity to make it to the first eleven.
“The new politics of PSG does not favour the young players of the club, and I was also near the end of my contract and Odense has been courting me for long. The sporting project of the club is very attractive,” Diarra said.

English Premier League side Arsenal were also in the race to snag the Guinean youth, who was born in Conakry but also holds a French passport.
“Diarra is a big talent. We are very pleased to have him on board. He has his forces on the defensive side of the midfield, but has also played in central defence. He keeps the ball safe, fast and has an excellent overview,” Odense sporting director Poul Hansen said.
