On 25 January 2017, Thiam joined Süper Lig side Gaziantepspor on a three-and-a-half-year contract.[3]
On 21 August 2017, Russian club FC Dynamo Moscow announced the signing of Thiam on a one-year loan deal from MTK Budapest (as Gaziantepspor did not activate a buyout option). The Dynamo contract included a buyout option.[4] The loan was terminated on 12 February 2018 by mutual consent after Thiam failed to establish his position in the Dynamo squad.[5]
On 14 February 2018, he was loaned to the Bulgarian club Levski Sofia until the end of the season.[6] On 2 June 2018, Thiam was permanently transferred to Levski, where he established himself as a regular starter. On 28 June 2020, he captained the team in the 2:1 away win over Beroe in a First League game, which had been announced beforehand to be his last match for the "bluemen".[7]
In August 2020 Thiam joined Turkish club Altay.[8] In July 2022, Thiam joined Pendikspor[9] where he remained until December 2022.[10]
On 31 January 2023, Thiam returned to MTK Budapest, now in the second-tier NB II. He signed a two-and-a-half-year contract.[11]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
