Cardiff City FC is delighted to announce that striker Famara Diédhiou has joined the club on loan from Granada CF until the end of the campaign, subject to international clearance.
The 31-year-old possesses experience of the Championship from his time spent with Bristol City, where he netted an impressive 46 goals in 154 league games.
Diedhiou has also played across Europe during his career, featuring for the likes of Clermont, Angers, Alanyaspor and Granada, with a further 27 international appearances for Senegal.
Famara, who played and scored for his country in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, becomes the latest ex-Robin to make the move to the Welsh capital in recent years, following in the footsteps of Lee Tomlin, Bobby Decordova-Reid, Aden Flint, Marlon Pack and Callum O’Dowda.
“I’m feeling great. I’m happy to be back in English football. I’m very happy and excited to join the Club. It’s amazing here, it’s a great environment and a good atmosphere.
“I knew the gaffer before from when I played in Turkey. It was easy with him and I’m happy to join the team. I also had a message from Callum O’Dowda; we had a little conversation before I joined and I’ll be happy to see him again.
“I played in the Championship before, played many games and scored many goals, so I’m coming back today ready to work and with confidence. I want to do the maximum for the team.
“My confidence is high. I’m ready to do my best for the team. I know I have scored a lot of goals in the Championship, so I hope to do it again.”
Erol Bulut commented: “Famara is a good striker and the good thing is that he knows the league.
"He played for Bristol City for four years and scored more than 50 goals there in all competitions. The players around him are also important, but I know him from Turkey when he was with Alanyaspor.
“Famara wants to show himself again and I hope he can do that with Cardiff City until the end of the season.”
Famara Diedhiou signs.
"A striker just signed for Cardiff"
"Diedhiou?"
"No, not me, some Senegalese bloke"
You're welcome.
Wikipedia says he's six foot four, and has a 1-in-3 scoring rate, which sounds impressive. Let's hope he keeps that up.

Nearly everyone was underwhelmed with the Kaba signing last year so not surprised to see the same people underwhelmed at this signing too. Hopefully he hits the ground running, we need that.
.............Diedhiou
O'Dowda.............Bowler sometimes Tanner
.............Ramsey
That will look a lot better
Turnbull almost done!
Well it made me chuckle.
Decent midtable champions player. Should be enough time for him to bag 8-10 goals which will hopefully keep us in this division. Bagged around 15 a season when with Bristol, but that was all competitions. Is he better than we have, stats wise yes, so good signing
Welcome Famara
Bluebirds !
We still need another striker but should be better than what we currently got have. A striker who can hold the ball up and bring others into play will hopefully get more out of the wingers as well.
But we don't really play that way any more.
We might if we had a striker who could hold up the ball and bring others into play. We have signed this guy and want Moore so there must be wanted for some reason.
Any relation to Dickie?
did well for Bristol , Ive had 2 messages from Bristol fans I know saying he is decent
Tonight Just seen him score twice V Sunderland in " Sunderland till I die " which ive just started to watch, Flinty scored aswell
Fair play he's scored one goal since November 2022.
I'd hope not, or certainly don't hope we go back again to a long ball game.
Thankfully I don't think Bulut wants that, either. It does give us options in attack, but we're trying to play a different way and we need to keep that going. A few better players might make the difference.
I'd say he's more talented and experienced.
LFW : 454 games and (124 goals ) mostly in lower league leagues.
Famara 27. games (11 goals ) for Senegal
Famara 355 games ( 117 goals ) better leagues
Brilliant
One of a very select group of Cardiff players to have scored at a World Cup
He's got a good Championship record the same as Moore, but he's going to need the players behind to improve a lot and give him some chances.
Bowler.....really ?.............Diedhiou
O'Dowda.............Bowler sometimes Tanner
.............Ramsey
That will look a lot better
Turnbull almost done!
Even allowing for a large dose of 'poetic licence', it could have been "brilliant", if only his name was pronounced anything remotely like 'Di_Doh'.
I refer the Right Honourable gentleman to the following video...
