West Brom eye Diafra Sakho deal

West Bromwich Albion are mulling over a summer bid for West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho. The Senegalese international is likely to leave the Hammers this summer after he fell behind the likes of Andy Caroll and Emmanuel Emenike for the centre-forward role.

The 26-year-old joined the Hammers from French side Metz last season, and had a good showing in the English league.

However, he has failed to show a similar performance this campaign, and this has forced manager Slaven Bilic to bench him for a decent number of games.

The Sun claims that the Baggies could step up their efforts to land Sakho, should they lose Saido Berahino in the next transfer window.

Berahino has been tipped to exit the Hawthorns with interest high from the likes of Stoke City and Tottenham Hotspur.
