On 2 February 2015, Diédhiou joined Clermont Foot on loan from Sochaux.[6] For the 2015–16 Ligue 2 season, he went back on loan to Clermont again.[7] In that season, he scored 22 goals in 37 matches.[8][9]

On 28 June 2017, Diédhiou signed a four-year contract with English Championship club Bristol City for a club record transfer fee of £5.3 million.[8][9] He scored on his debut for Bristol City in a 3–1 win over Barnsley on 5 August 2017.[10] During the 2017–18 season Bristol City reached the semi-finals of the EFL Cup,[11] with Diédhiou scoring in the 2—0 upset against Premier League opponents Stoke City in the third round.[12]

In his first season at the club scoring 14 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions, finishing the club's 2nd top scorer behind Bobby Reid for Bristol City.[13] In May 2018 he received a six-match ban due to a spitting incident in a match against Birmingham City in April 2018.[14] Diédhiou denied the charges, leading the club to appeal the ban on 21 June 2018.[15] Bristol City appealed the 6 match ban, however the decision was upheld on 14 July 2018, meaning Diédhiou was suspended for the opening six matches of the 2018–19 season.[16]

During the 2018/19 season, he scored 13 league goals for the second consecutive season and finished as Bristol City's top scorer with 13 goals in all competitions.[17]
