“It was important for us to have more depth on the left side of our defence. In Moussa, we’ve signed a player for that position who can play a high-intensity style of football,” said Youri Mulder, director of professional football. “He made it clear in our talks that he’s really excited for this challenge.”

Born in Senegal, Ndiaye moved to Europe in the summer of 2020 to join FC Barcelona’s U19s. After a spell with the Catalans’ reserve side, the left-back joined RSC Anderlecht in 2022. The 23-year-old made 102 appearances for the Belgian club, scoring twice and setting up six more goals.

The side play football at a very high intensity and that suits me.

Ndiaye is looking forward to his time at Schalke: “I can’t wait to start training with the team tomorrow. The side play football at a very high intensity and that suits me. I want to get stuck in right away and help make it a successful season for the team and the fans.”
