# Virals: West Ham ‘study the profile’ of PSG full-back Abdou Diallo

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2022/01/07/alex-crook-claims-west-ham-move-for-jesse-lingard-is-inevitable/) are reportedly interested in making a move for PSG full-back Abdou Diallo.

The Hammers are looking for additional left-back cover following a prolonged spell on the sidelines for first-choice option [Aaron Cresswell](https://readwestham.com/2021/11/21/tony-cascarino-raves-about-west-ham-unsung-hero-aaron-cresswell/).

Having been [linked with an attempt](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/west-ham-transfer-news-lucas-digne-aaron-cresswell-b975204.html) to bring Everton star Lucas Digne to the London Stadium in recent days, Diallo is the latest name in the mix.

According to a report from [L’Equipe](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Wolverhampton-sur-badiashile-newcastle-veut-diop-west-ham-vise-aguerd-la-premier-league-regarde-la-france-et-les-francais/1308907), as cited by [Cerfia Foot](https://twitter.com/CerfiaFoot) on Twitter, the Irons are keen on the 25-year-old.

Translated, the Tweet claims that the East London club have ‘studied the profile’ of the [seven-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdou-diallo/nationalmannschaft/spieler/229005/verein_id/3499) Senegal ace but ‘no offer has been made’ at present.

This season Diallo has [provided one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdou-diallo/leistungsdaten/spieler/229005) in 13 appearances across all competitions for the Ligue 1 pacesetters.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Signed from Borussia Dortmund in 2019 for £26million ([ESPN](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/3900586/psg-sign-defender-diallo-from-dortmund-for-32m)), the French-born defender would likely be an expensive capture.

Valued at £22.5million and under contract in Paris until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/abdou-diallo/marktwertverlauf/spieler/229005)), PSG would still demand a premium for their asset.

Already a multi trophy winner, Diallo [possesses all the attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/248112/Show/Abdou-Diallo) to challenge Cresswell for a starting berth in David Moyes’ side.
