Westerlo signs Pape Diong from Strasbourg on four-year deal

Summary

Westerlo has completed the signing of central midfielder Pape Diong from Strasbourg. The 20-year-old has signed a four-year contract with the Belgian Pro League side, who are struggling defensively, having conceded 12 goals in three games this season. Diong aims to enhance Westerlo's midfield stability after limited opportunities at Strasbourg, where he made 11 first-team appearances. Previously, he spent last season on loan at Dunkerque in Ligue 2, contributing one assist in 28 matches. His signing is seen as a step toward building a stronger squad moving forward.
