Fousseni Diabate: Trabzonspor complete permanent swoop for Leicester City flop

Trabzonspor have signed Leicester City flop Fousseni Diabate on a three-year deal with the option to extend for an additional year.

The move brings an end to Diabate's disappointing two-and-a-half years stint in England where he played 19 matches for Leicester City, which include 14 Premier League appearances.

The Mali international showed instant promise following his transfer from Gazelec Ajaccio to the King Power Stadium in January 2018 with a brace on his debut outing against Peterborough United in an FA Cup match.

After his maiden campaign, Diabate struggled to secure first-team football and he spent the last 18 months on loan.
