Real Betis interested in Lorient's Bamba Dieng
Bamba Dieng (26) has had an excellent second half to the Ligue 1 season and is attracting interest from clubs across Europe, according to a report from Sacha Tavolieri.
Former Olympique de Marseille forward Dieng has struggled with injuries in recent seasons and missed much of the first half of the campaign due to more fitness issues, however, he has been Lorient 's key player in the second half of the campaign.

Since the turn of the year, he has scored nine goals in the league, whilst in all competitions this season, he has 15 goals in 22 games.
However, his contract with Les Merlus is up at the end of the season, and the Senegal international is now attracting interest. As per Tavolieri, La Liga side Real Betis hold a concrete interest in the forward. The Spanish side are anticipating the departure of Cédric Bakambu and see Dieng as the replacement. Bundesliga side SC Freiburg are also in the race.
