Bafodé Diakité: The Front-Foot Enforcer
Bournemouth’s physical defender, built for duels and recovery pace in transition.
Diakité defends like he enjoys the battle. He steps in early, competes for everything in the air and uses his athleticism to close space quickly, making it harder for strikers to settle. In a system that wants to press high and play with intensity, having a centre-back who can defend forwards and still recover is crucial, and Diakité gives Bournemouth that security.
He also brings confidence on the ball. When Bournemouth build from deep he’s comfortable carrying into midfield to change the angle, then playing the simple pass that keeps the rhythm alive. He isn’t trying to be a playmaker, but he adds calm progression, and that balance of aggression and composure makes him a defender who fits modern football.
