# Sakho coy when discussing future

Diafra Sakho has refused to rule out the possibility of a move away from West Ham this January.

As quoted by [African Football](https://africanfootball.com//news/730745/Senegal-star-Diafra-Sakho-Well-see-what-January-brings), the controversial forward discussed his plans for the future following an eventful couple of months for him at the London Stadium.

> It’s not easy to prove to the people what I can do on the pitch when I only play for 10 minutes. But I don’t need to knock on the manager’s door – he knows what I can do, now I have to force my way into the team.

> I just want to enjoy being part of this team and we will see what happens in January.

Sakho looked all but set to complete a move to Ligue 1 outfit Rennes last season, but West Ham pulled the plug on the deal. Slaven Bilic regards him still as a key member of his squad, and was keen to retain his services.

On Saturday, the Senegal forward proved his quality once more, netting a last gasp winner against Swansea City for the Hammers in a 1-0 win.

Sakho will be looking to burst into a rich vein of form in the coming weeks, and will hope to do so with another goal on Saturday, when his native Senegal take on Cape Verde.

The 27-year-old is without a start this season, having been pushed down the pecking order behind Javier Hernandez and Andy Carroll.
