Former Paris Saint-Germain footballer Jordan Diakiese has died aged just 24.
Diakiese’s current club, French amateur outfit A.S. Furiani Agliani announced the news in a post on social media on Friday morning.
They wrote: “Your second family will always think of you. Rest in peace Jordan.”
No cause of death has yet been established, with the post saying Diakiese passed away in Paris on Thursday afternoon.
Born in the French capital, Diakiese came through the academy at PSG and made several appearances in the Uefa Youth League during the 2013/14 season, though he never made a senior appearance for the club. He also represented France at youth level.
He went on to play for Swiss side Chaux-de-Fonds and Croatian outfit NK Rudes before joining Furiani last summer.
The club statement read: "Our club is in mourning today. It's with deep and immense sadness that we've learnt of the death of our player Jordan D, 24, yesterday afternoon in Paris.
"After arriving last July, this amazing kid was a winner both on the pitch and beyond. Always smiling, discreet, hard-working, he settled in very quickly.
"The whole Furianinca family is reeling from the news. The staff, Jordan's team mates, as well as all the directors and volunteers have been hit hard.
"Our thoughts are, first and foremost with his family, friends and loved-ones. Rest in peace, Jordan. You'll always be a Furianincu lion."
