The Manchester United youngster appears to have turned a corner on how his loan spell with Sunderland initially went.
The Ivorian is now a standout feature with the Black Cats and has become a regular starter under manager Tony Mowbray.
Diallo was impressive over the weekend as Sunderland drew 1-1 against Luton Town.

At the front of the line on Saturday, Diallo received high praise from Mowbray for his brilliant contributions.
“Amad was amazing today, amazing. Not just the saves he took from his goalie, but the intensity and aggressiveness of him in getting the ball back.”
“I trusted him in midfield at the back there, which says it all. Really impressive and that’s what he has to do.”
The 20-year-old was back in action last night when Sunderland took on Huddersfield.
The winger scored in the closing minutes of the game with a brilliant counterattack with his right foot to secure his team the three points.

Sunderland fans seemed to have enjoyed that, which is the latest addition in a series of wonderful performances from the youngster.
So much so that they broke into a chant, chanting the player’s name out loud after the game.

This act will undoubtedly further stimulate the Ivory Coast international and improve his confidence.
The adoration of the fans combined with Mowbray’s faith in him can only be a positive thing for Diallo, who will be looking to use his loan spell as a springboard to reclaim Erik ten Hag’s plans next season.
Hopefully he can continue in the same way and score even more goals.
