Abou Diop (born 6 October 1993) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays as a striker for Italian Serie C Group C club Giugliano.
Club career[edit]
Torino[edit]
He arrived at Torino on trial in early 2011 and was signed shortly after. The club had many bureaucratic difficulties in registering him, as Torino were prohibited from signing a non-European player before the age of 18.[2][3] In the 2012–13 season he managed to collect several appearances for the first team.[4][5]
Loans to Juve Stabia and Crotone[edit]
On 31 July 2013, he was loaned to Juve Stabia in Serie B where he made his debut on 24 August against Pescara.[6] He scored his only goal of the season on 31 August in a 1–2 loss against Spezia.[7][8] He was recalled by Torino in the Winter transfer window and loaned to Crotone on 24 January, but failed to break into the first team.[9][10]
Loans to Ternana and Matera[edit]
Returning to Turin in the late summer, he was loaned to Ternana, in Serie B. After a very disappointing first round (only 132 minutes played), the Umbrian club decided to send him back to Turin during the winter transfer window, which loaned him to Matera, a team in Lega Pro.[11]
Loans to Lecce and Juve Stabia[edit]
On 31 August 2015, the closing day for the transfer market, he moved to Lecce in Lega Pro.
Paganese[edit]
On 28 July 2019, he joined Paganese.[12]
Picerno[edit]
On 22 September 2022, Diop signed with Picerno.[13]
