The Senegalese international goal poacher impressed the technical team of RC Strasbourg Alsace after some impressive performance for FC Metz in Ligue 1 last season.

Habibou Diallo comes in as a replacement for South African international striker Lebo Mothiba, who got a recurring knee injury during pre-season.

Ironically before the Ligue 1 season started RC Strasbourg Alsace coach Thierry Laurey told kickoff that he won't be signing a striker in replacement of Lebo Mothiba after he just got the injury, but a string of disappointing performances obliged him to go on and sign Habibou Diallo to help with the goals.

RC Strasbourg Alsace lie on the 18th position on the Ligue 1 table for 2020/21 season after collecting only 3 points from their 6 league games.
