Siewert Expects More From Diakhaby

Huddersfield boss Jan Siewert says Adama Diakhaby can improve further after his impressive display against Arsenal.

Diakhaby played the full 90 minutes in the 2-1 defeat at home to the Gunners on Saturday and his late effort led to the Terriers’ first goal in 597 minutes of football, with Saed Kolasinac credited with an own goal after turning the Frenchman’s shot into the Arsenal net.

Siewert was happy with his display but stressed the 22-year-old still has plenty of work to do if he is to reach his full potential.

“Adama is showing that he is on the right way but of course he has to work a lot and I told him that you have to work a lot,” Siewert told the Examiner.

“This makes me proud that players accept it and work on their weaknesses but also work on their strengths.”

Diakhaby joined Huddersfield last summer from Monaco and has started all three Premier League games since Siewert took charge, having managed just three starts in total under previous boss David Wagner.
