Abdoulaye Diagne-Faye (born February 26, 1978 in Dakar) is a Senegalese footballer. His preferred position is as a midfielder. He is currently at Bolton Wanderers, having transferred on loan from RC Lens for the duration of the 2005/06 season.
Faye commenced his career at Senegalese club Ndiambour Louga, before leaving the then top-three team to go to JA in Senegal. He then went on to join Lens in July 2002, integrating into a squad which at that time included Papa Bouba Diop, currently a member of 2004/05 Premier League team Fulham. The 2005/06 season is his second successive season on loan, having spent the previous season at relegated FC Istres, who finished bottom of Ligue 1 in 2004/05.
Faye has made six appearances for Senegal, scoring one goal, and has been a mainstay of the first Bolton team to qualify for the UEFA Cup.
In the 2006-2007 season Faye operated occasionally as a central defender following the departures of Bruno N'Gotty and Radhi Jaidi to Birmingham City.
He is an important player of the Bolton team and is well worth the £750,000 investment by his manager Sam Allardyce.
