Following links with Manchester United during the summer, Issa Diop has once again been touted to join a ‘top-four’ club in the future by former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Paul Robinson.
The towering 22-year-old has been a behemoth in central defence for West Ham United since his £22million move from Toulouse last year.
Speaking to Football Insider, Robinson was full of praise for Diop and believes he can reach the very top if he continues to improve at the London Stadium.
Diop’s proven this season that he’s reliable, strong, very very capable and he’s been a part of West Ham’s success. He is good enough for a top-four team. If he continues to do what he does, perform the way he does, he’ll have top-four options going forward.
READ WEST HAM’S VERDICT
Diop has gone from strength to strength for the Hammers and has featured in every single minute of every single game this season.
He’s widely recognised as Manuel Pellegrini’s best defender and the 1-1 draw against Sheffield United last time out was his 50th outing for the club.
It seems inevitable he’ll make a big-money move if West Ham don’t progress over the next few years, but fans will certainly enjoy him while they can.
