From wikipedia

Pape Diakhaté (born June 21, 1984 in Dakar) is a Senegalese professional football (soccer) player, currently with AS Nancy.

 

Diakhaté has been at Nancy since his youth, and made his Ligue 2 debut on October 20, 2001, playing the first half of the 2-0 win over LB Châteauroux. Originally a left-back and capable of playing as a wide midfielder, he is recognised mainly as a centre-back.

 

He played 25 league matches the following season, and has appeared regularly for the club, although his 2003-04 season was severely disrupted by injury.

 

2004-05 brought Diakhaté favourable recognition, winning a place in France Football's team of the season and also a full international call-up from Senegal. After Nancy's promotion to Ligue 1 in 2005, Diakhaté was also part of the Senegalese team that finished fourth in the 2006 African Cup of Nations.

 

Diakhaté is seen as a leading defender for the future and has therefore been linked to a number of larger clubs such as Juventus, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Schalke and Stuttgart as well as Lyon. However, he has recently pledged his long-term future to Nancy admist reports he is set to join a leading Ligue 1 club.

He could be a good defender.

I find it hard to believe he plays football..

 

Looks as bad as Viduka and he's a class act so i dont see any problem, atleast we have some good pie shops to keep him in shape!!

Just another possible option as a centre-half. Lyon's Cacapa is available on a Bosman I believe in the summer. Always looked good to me whenever I've seen Lyon over the past few years. Had a pretty bad injury this season though.
