Diafra Sakho on verge of leaving West Ham to join Rennes
Bet365West Ham striker Diafra Sakho is close to completing an £8m move to Rennes, according to Sky Sources.
Rennes are prepared to pay £4.5m up front for the Senegal international and £3.5m in add-ons.
Rennes have tracked the Senegal international for many months and came close to signing him on the penultimate day of the last transfer window.
West Ham knocked back an initial bid of £6m from Rennes last week but it would now appear that Sakho, who has been told he can leave, will soon be on his way out of the club he joined from Metz in the summer of 2014 for £3.5m.
Crystal Palace and Swansea are also interested in signing the 28-year-old along with Bordeaux’s new manager Gus Poyet, Sky Sports News understands.
Sakho has made just four appearances for the Hammers this season.
West Ham co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold were confronted by angry supporters after Saturday’s 2-0 FA Cup defeat at Wigan, according to Sky sources.
The fans were angry West Ham have signed only Joao Mario – on loan from Inter – this month.
Sullivan insists the club are working hard to make further acquisitions before the transfer window closes on Wednesday.
He told the club’s website: „I have been made aware of reports suggesting that there will be no more players joining the club this month due to funding not being available.
„Nothing could be further from the truth.
„The manager David Moyes has the board’s full backing in this window and, together, we continue to work night and day to bring in players to add quality and depth to the squad, despite January being a difficult time to do business.“
West Ham are also having to deal with the fall-out from Arthur Masuaku’s dismissal for spitting at Nick Powell in the FA Cup tie at Wigan.
The Frenchman was sent-off in the 49th minute following a collision at the side of the pitch. He has since apologised.
