Loïs Diony (born 20 December 1992) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward for Saint-Étienne. Diony is of Martiniquais descent.[1]

Club career

Diony made his professional debut in November 2012 for FC Nantes, in a 0–0 draw against Niort.[2]

After spending six months in the fourth division with his hometown club Stade Montois, he joined Dijon FCO in January 2014.[3]

Dijon

With Diony securing a move to Ligue 2 side Dijon, he proved to be a vital asset as he was their top scorer as they achieved promotion into Ligue 1. The following season, Diony was again Dijon's top scorer - with 11 goals - helping them maintain their Ligue 1 position.

Saint Etienne

In 2017 Diony made a big-money move to top tier side AS Saint-Étienne, but he made a slow start with Les Verts, recording no goals and just one assist in his first 16 games for the club, causing him to be loaned out at the start of 2018.[4]

Bristol City

On 25 January 2018, Loïs Diony joined Bristol City on loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 with the option to make it permanent for a reported £10m.[5] Despite looking a promising addition, Diony's stint in England was unsuccessful, and he played just seven times, contributing to 0 goals in the process.[6]
