Mamadou Ousmane Diagne (born 14 September 2003) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Allsvenskan club Västerås SK.

Club career

Diagne was discovered by Malmö FF as a result of their collaboration with Danish club Jammerbugt FC.[2] After a year with the club's U19 team, for the 2023 season he was loaned out to BK Olympic.[3] As a result of his strong season he was selected for the Morgondagens stjärnor (tr. The Stars of Tomorrow) squad, a match between the best young players in Ettan Södra and Ettan Norra.[4]

In 2024 he was once again loaned out, this time to Superettan team Skövde AIK.[5]

In 2025 he transferred permanently to another Superettan club, Västerås SK. For his performances during the season he was heralded as one of the best players in the league.[6] He was voted as the 2025 Superettan Player of the Year by the Player's Association.[7] On 5 April 2026, Diagne played the full 90 minutes in Västerås SK's return to Allsvenskan, resulting in a 1–0 win.[8]
