Diallo, former Newcastle prospect, on the verge of transfer to Bordeaux

Unfortunately, he didn't quite make the cut, only managing to feature in a single senior game as an England U17 international.

Now he is set for a move to Bordeaux, who are rebuilding from the very bottom after financial catastrophe.

French daily Sud Ouest states that Diallo will be playing for Bordeaux in the fourth tier of French football.

An administrative double relegation meant the six-time Ligue 1 champions have it all to do in the next few years.
