Why did Diaw leave Le Havre?
Diaw likely left Le Havre to join Al Shabab due to the opportunity to play in a new league and gain international experience.
What impact on Le Havre AC?
Diaw's departure could have an impact on Le Havre AC's season, which is currently 14th in Ligue 1 with 0 points, 0 wins, 0 draws, and 1 match played, and has conceded 1 goal this season. The club will need to find a replacement for Diaw, who was an important element of the team.
