West Ham seal deal for Metz striker

West Ham United have completed their seventh signing of the summer, according to The Star.

The Hammers boss Sam Allardyce has been busy ringing in the changes to the first-team this season, as he aims to seal a mid-table finish during the upcoming campaign.

A report from the Star claims that the London club have agreed on a £4.5m deal to sign Senegalese striker Diafra Sakho from Ligue 1 outfit FC Metz.

Sakho notched up 43 goals in the last two seasons, and played a fundamental part in Metz's promotion back to Ligue 1 after a spell in the second tier.
