The 29-year-old has penned a new three-year contract on the eve of his 100th appearance since joining from Hannover three years ago.
The Senegalese has scored 18 times in 99 appearances and is targeting bringing some silverware to the Bet365 Stadium.

Speaking to the club's official website he said: 'Another top 10 finish this season is the immediate ambition but we should be targeting the next step, an even higher finish, and success in one of the cup competitions.
He added: 'I'm really pleased to have signed a new contract. I've been here for three years now and feel really settled, really part of the club. My family are settled as well and that's really important to me.
'I want to play as a striker but I'm a football player and will play wherever the manager asks me to and try and do my best.'
Diouf is yet to find the back of the net in his three appearances for Stoke so far this season.
He will reach his century of games for the club if selected for Saturday's Premier League trip to Newcastle.
