Diagne reveals English interest as Senegalese star chases Premier League dream

The Nancy defender admits to having been targeted by Toulouse and teams from England over the summer, but no deal has been done as yet

Modou Diagne is hoping to become the next Senegalese star in the Premier League, as the Nancy defender says he has attracted interest from England.

The 24-year-old is currently turning out in the French second tier, but is setting his sights much higher than the stage he occupies at present.

He has drawn admiring glances from afar in the past, with Stoke, Reading and Middlesbrough among those to have monitored his progress.
