West Ham central defender Issa Diop is reportedly being ‘eyed’ by French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
The 25-year-old ace was recalled to the side as a late replacement for Kurt Zouma against Leicester City and was a standout performer in an otherwise disappointing display.
However, often a benchwarmer for David Moyes, Diop is perenially linked with a move away from the London Stadium.
According to a report from Claret & Hugh, PSG are keen to reignite their interest having asked the question in 2018.

The report claims that the runaway Ligue 1 leaders are ‘ready to offer anything up to £50million’ for the six-cap France Under 21 star.
This all comes as a report from Spanish outlet Fichajes claims that the Irons could move for Lille defender Sven Botman, Real Sociedad star Robin Le Normand or Ecuadorian international Pervis Estupinan.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £10.8million and under contract at West Ham until 2023 (Transfermarkt), any bid even remotely close to the mooted £50million would be hard to resist.
Albeit a star on his day, Moyes has struggled to make Diop the go-to centre-back due to a lack of consistency.
Currently short on options at the back, this isn’t necessarily a time to be selling, but if PSG are serious about the move and seemingly have the cash to burn, the Irons’ must be open to offers.
