West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho is yet to make a Premier League start this season.
Sakho has struggled for game time at West Ham this season, but he did manage to make it off the substitutes’ bench to score the winner in Slaven Bilic’s side latest match.
West Ham won 1-0 against Swansea City at the weekend, with Sakho blasting home in the closing stages.
The goal was Sakho’s first of the season, as he has mainly been kept in reserve.
And the Senegalese striker has seemingly suggested that if he continues to play a bit-part role then a move away from West Ham could become a possibility in the new year.
“I was very close to leaving [in the summer], but now I am here and I am enjoying the little time I’ve had on the pitch to prove myself, and after the international break we will see if I can get more,” Bilic said.
“In my head I just want to enjoy being part of this team and we will see what happens in January.”
Sakho has not made a Premier League start to date this season, with Javier Hernandez and Andy Carroll seemingly ahead of him in Bilic’s selection order.
West Ham have two weeks off, due to the international break, but when they return to action, they will take on Burnley at Turf Moor.
