Earlier this month, Wydad announced the blockbuster signing of former AC Milan star M'Baye Niang on a short-term deal. "It's up to me to work, I'm going to work hard. I'm going to help my teammates, the club especially.

"I didn't come with the aim of doing a year and leaving. I really want to be part of the club's project, which is strong. "There is a new management that has shown that it is ready to invest, to also make this club, with the history it has, take its place again.



"It is a legendary club in Africa, which has won trophies, which has an exceptional public." Although he was born and grew up in France, Niang represents Senegal at senior international level, but has not played for the Lions of Teranga since November 2019. Speaking on his desire to return to the national team fold, Niang added: "Then the selection, I will be at the disposal of the coach [Aliou Cisse] as I did before.

I played in the World Cup [in 2018], which is not given to everyone, the African Cup. "Even if, today, I am not in the national team, I am Senegalese and I am proud to be.".
