Besiktas interested in Diafra Sakho

According to Turkish Football, Besiktas are looking to sign Diafra Sakho as a replacement for Cenk Tosun, with West Ham demanding €10m for the striker.

Sakho’s future has been up in the air pretty much straight after his first season when many top clubs were looking to sign him after a good season under Sam Allardyce.

This success seemed to get to Sakho’s head and performances dropped under the new manager at the time, Slaven Bilic. The Croatian and Sakho were never on the same page and rumours of the Senegalese frontman leaving the club after falling out with Bilic never seemed to stop.

David Moyes is now at the helm of The Hammers and many expected Sakho to knuckle down and concentrate on his football under the Scotsman, but he has found it hard to get game-time, especially with the world class form which Marco Arnautovic is showing.

Sakho’s future, yet again, is looking bleak at West Ham, and Besiktas could be his next destination for just €10m, but with Andy Carroll’s and Javier Hernandez’s future at the London Stadium being unclear, the East London side may have to keep Sakho.
