Diop was a key figure and leader in Morocco's defense during the 2026 World Cup, and arrives in England with a rising market value. With just one year remaining on his contract with Fulham, Ipswich secure an experienced player to bolster their backline and cement their presence with confidence upon their return to the English top flight.
