Pitso: Dieng on the same level with Nakamba and Thomas Partey

Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane believes the Egyptian giants’ midfield enforcer Aliou Dieng is on the same level with Warriors star Marvellous Nakamba, as well as Ghana’s Thomas Partey.

Dieng is a highly-rated Malian midfielder who is on the ranks of Al Ahly and Mosimane insists that he sees no difference between the 24-year old, and the duo of Nakamba and Partey.

Speaking on a podcast called On the Whistle, the outspoken coach said: “So I look at [Marvelous] Nakamba, the boy who’s playing in Aston Villa, from Zimbabwe, and I look at the boy playing for Leicester City as a six [Nigeria’s Wilfred Ndidi].

“I also look at [Thomas] Partey, who’s playing for Arsenal, I say ‘really guys, is there really much of a difference?’

“And he [Dieng] is playing in the national team of Mali and he’s playing for Al Ahly. He’s a two-time Champions League winner and won the bronze medal two times in the World Cup. And the CAF Super Cup twice, the league, the Egyptian Cup, I mean what else does he have to win?,” he added.

“He’s got experience, and somebody has to open their eyes. Somebody has a player to get in Africa.
