West Ham striker Diafra Sakho is expected to leave the club this month.
Turkish newspaper Fanatik claim Slaven Bilic’s former side Besiktas are interested in signing West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho this month for a bargain fee, as his Hammers future looks all but over.
The 28-year-old has just a matter of months remaining on his current contract at the London Stadium, with David Moyes’ side seemingly unwilling to extend his deal and are willing to offload him instead.
The report claims Besiktas manager Senol Gunes has given the green light to land the eight-time Senegal international, with well-known Turkish football agent Ahmet Bulut jetting into London to discuss a move.
Besiktas are fully aware that the former Metz striker’s contract ends in the summer and that will see them look to land West Ham’s number 15 in a cut-price deal this month.
Claret & Hugh claim six clubs are interested in Sakho, including French quartet Bordeaux, Rennes, Nice and Marseille as well as Premier League clubs West Brom and Brighton – and now Besiktas have seemingly entered the race.
Sakho is now expected to leave as he looks to secure a place in Aliou Cisse’s Senegal squad ahead of the World Cup in Russia this summer, after scoring 24 goals in 71 games for the Hammers.
