Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing Issa Diop from West Ham United, according to The Daily Mail.

It has been reported that French giants PSG could pay as much as £50 million for Diop, having monitored the youngster for some time.

West Ham signed the 21-year-old central defender from Toulouse in the summer transfer window for a fee reported by The Daily Mail to be worth £22m.

Worrying for West Ham United

Diop has established himself as an important player for West Ham, and his performance for Manuel Pellegrini’s side so far this season have been very encouraging.

While the Hammers are a big club in London, PSG are challenging for the Ligue 1 title, playing in the Champions League and are a wealthy outfit.

Playing for PSG would be a massive step up for Diop, and West Ham could struggle to keep hold of the 21-year-old central defender if indeed the Ligue 1 giants make an offer for the France Under-21 international.
