About
Issa Diop is a French defender who plays as a centre-back for Premier League side Fulham. Born in Toulouse, he came through the academy at his hometown club, making his senior debut as an 18-year-old in November 2015 and going on to make 95 appearances and captain the side before he turned 21. That form earned a move to West Ham United in 2018 for a then club-record fee of around £22 million, and across four seasons in east London he racked up almost 100 Premier League outings. Fulham signed the imposing, ball-playing stopper from West Ham for roughly £15 million in August 2022, handing him a five-year deal at Craven Cottage. A former France youth international capped at Under-21 level, Diop is contracted to Fulham until June 2026 and earns a reported £55,000 per week.
