A successful 2020-21 season at Ligue 1 side Stade Reims has led to French-Senegalese striker Boulaye Dia’s transfer to La Liga club Villarreal for an undisclosed fee and five-year contract. The 24-year-old is a rising Senegal national team member, taking part in two 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches as well as the Teranga Lions’ recent two friendly matches. Dia scored 16 goals in 39 appearances for Reims last season across all competitions.
