West Ham United are set to allow the transfer of Diafra Sakho to West Bromwich albion for £15 million. The deal will allow the prolonged deal of Saido Berahino to go through as he would be able to leave The Hawthorns.
Sakho moved from Metz to West Ham for £3.5 million two years back and has enjoyed a decent level of success since joining. It looks like a fantastic deal for West Ham – a bit like winning big on the free slot machines – and they look set to profit from the move too.
Immediately he arrived the club, he scored in seven consecutive games winning the admiration of many. The Senegal international also suffered injuries and dropped in the pecking order at the club in the last term. He told the club’s management that he wanted to leave and is set to get his wish if the record transfer fee for the move to West Bromwich goes through.
So far West Brom has not spent beyond £12 million since getting striker Salomon Rondon from Zenit St. Petersburg but are likely to break the record with his deal, according to the Automatenherz website.
Berahino’s move to Spurs was denied by the club in the past summer after he handed a transfer request. Spurs then opted for Vincent Janseen from AZ Alkmaar. Stoke City and Crystal Palace have been battling for the signature of the player as he enters the last year of his current deal.
