He'll supplant either Krzysztof Piatek or Grigoris Kastanos once he is fully fit. He has notched eight goals, four assists, 27 shots (13 on target), and 23 chances created in 21 appearances.

No shots on target Dia took two shots (both off target) and created one chance in Monday's 1-0 loss at Verona.
Impact Dia struggled Monday, as he failed to record a shot on target for the second consecutive game. He has been in peculiar form as of late, as he has two games in his last five matches with a goal and an assist, but in the other three matches he failed to even record a shot on target. While he is quite inconsistent, his peaks are high enough to wash out the quiet performances like Monday's.

Struggles versus Napoli Dia created one scoring chance, drew one foul, won two duels, and was dispossessed once in Saturday's 0-2 defeat to Napoli.
Impact Dia played wide in this one, and that may have affected his numbers, although Salernitana were also facing the best team in the lead.

Salernitana will host Napoli Saturday.
