Papa Waigo N'Diaye (born 20 January 1984 in Saint-Louis, Senegal), often simplified as Papa Waigo or "The Specimen", is a Senegalese international footballer who currently plays as a striker for Emarati club Al Urooba.
He began his career at Verona on 3 June 2002, before heading to Serie B outfit Cesena in 2005. After a successful spell where he was the highest-scoring non-Italian in the 2006–07 season he was signed by Genoa on 9 July 2007 for €5 million (cash plus Salvatore Aurelio [€0.5 million] and Dario Biasi [€0.1 million]), signing 5-year contract.
On 19 January 2008 he joined Fiorentina in a swap deal for Belgian defender Anthony Vanden Borre, with the two clubs co-owning both players' rights. Both Vanden Borre and Papa Waigo's 50% registration right was valued €2.1 million.
He made his Serie A debut on 26 August 2007, Genoa 0–3 lost to Milan. He began his Fiorentina career in impressive style, with two goals in his first three games, including one in the 3–2 away victory against giants Juventus on 2 March.
On 27 January 2009, Waigo signed for Serie B side Lecce on loan until the end of the season. While on loan he played six games but failed to score for the club.
On 2 September 2009, Waigo signed a season long loan with Football League One side, Southampton. The season long loan carried with it an option for Southampton to purchase the player which was not taken up. He made his debut on 13 September 2009 in a 1–1 draw at Charlton Athletic, replacing Adam Lallana in the 90th minute.
