Alassane N'Diaye (born 25 February 1990) is a French footballer who plays as a midfielder.

Career

After developing his game at Sochaux in his native France and FC Alle in Switzerland, N'Diaye moved to English Championship side Crystal Palace to play first-team football.

He made his debut in August 2009, and scored his first goal for the Eagles in a win at West Bromwich Albion, before scoring again in a home win over Blackpool. However, N'Diaye's first-team appearances decreased over the course of the 2009–10 season, and they were even fewer and far between the following year. He finished the 2010–11 season on loan at Swindon Town, suffering relegation from League One, before moving to League Two side Southend United on a season-long loan in the 2011–12 season. However, this loan was cancelled after a bust-up with a teammate,{{cite web|author=BBC Sport |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14580187.stm |title=N'Diaye may be near Southend exit |publisher=BBC Sport |date=18 August 2011 |access-date=1 September 2011}} and his contract at Palace was also cancelled 10 months early at this time.http://www.cpfc.co.uk/page/News/0,,10323~2437977,00.html {{dead link|date=August 2014}}

In November 2011, N'Diaye signed a short-term contract with Barnet.{{cite news|title=Barnet sign former Crystal Palace man Alassane N'Diaye|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15794992.stm|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=19 November 2011}} However, he did not earn a regular first team place, appearing mainly as an unused substitute. In May 2012, N'Diaye was released by Barnet on the expiry of his contract.{{cite news|title=McLeod, Brill lead Bees exodus|url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/12691/7771041/McLeod-Brill-lead-Bees-exodus|access-date=22 May 2012|newspaper=Sky Sports|date=22 May 2012}}
