West Ham turn down second Rennes bid for Diafra Sakho

Diafra Sakho is the most likely of West Ham’s attacking contingent to be offloaded this month given he becomes a free agent at the end of the season but the club continue to reject offers for the Senegal international.

According to Kaveh Solhekol of Sky Sports, West Ham have turned down a second bid from Ligue 1 side Rennes for Sakho this month, with the bid believed to be in the region of £10m including add ons.

Bordeaux have also entered the race to sign Sakho this month with new manager Gus Poyet interested in the striker.

Sakho attempted to engineer a move back to French football with Rennes in the summer, three years after his £4.5m transfer from Metz, and even travelled to France on deadline day as he looked to secure an exit.

He ended up staying at the club but is a peripheral figure at West Ham, however, the injury to Andy Carroll could see Sakho feature more frequently in the immediate future.

Andre Ayew is being targeted by Swansea this month but West Ham have turned down a £14m bid from the Swans for the attacker.
