Abdoulaye Diagne-Faye (born February 26, 1978 in Dakar) is a Senegalese footballer. He plays as a defensive midfielder or centre-back, currently at Bolton Wanderers in the English Premier League.
Faye began his career at Senegalese club ASEC Ndiambour, before leaving the then top-three team to go to Jeanne d'Arc in Senegal. He then went on to join Lens in July 2002, integrating into a squad which at that time included fellow Senegalese Papa Bouba Diop, currently a member of the Premier League team Fulham. Faye has made six appearances for Senegal, scoring one goal, and has been a mainstay of one of the most successful Bolton teams for many years, and featured in the UEFA Cup of 2006-7.
In the 2006-2007 season Faye operated almost exclusively as a central defender following the departures of Bruno N'Gotty and Radhi Jaidi to Birmingham City.
He is an important part of the Bolton team and has proved to be worth the £750,000 invested by his manager Sam Allardyce.
