Rassoul Ndiaye

Key strength: Work rate

Box-to-box midfielder

In a Le Havre side struggling to find consistency at 14th place, Rassoul Ndiaye has emerged as a rare source of reliability. The 24-year-old Senegalese midfielder has been an ever-present for Les Ciel et Marine, racking up 26 appearances and 1,812 minutes this season—an ironman showing in a physically demanding box-to-box role. With 3 goals and 4 assists to his name, Ndiaye contributes far beyond the defensive third, yet his most remarkable stat is his pristine disciplinary record: zero cards despite relentless pressing and duels won. Valued at €8 million, he represents shrewd business in today's inflated market. While Le Havre's recent form of one win in five (WLDDD) paints a picture of stagnation, Ndiaye's tireless work rate and two-way contributions continue to mark him as either the catalyst for a second-half resurgence—or an increasingly attractive target for bigger clubs hunting undervalued talent. His partnership with André in the engine room remains the foundation upon which any recovery must be built.
