No Turkey trot for Sakho

Diafra Sakho is staying at West Ham and reported links with Fenerbache are totally untrue.

That’s the word from CandH‘s top insider when we asked outright whether there was any truth at all in the rumour answering: “Absolutely not. No way.”

A report in Fantik -a Turkish media outlet – claims the ‘Sak’ had been offered to the club but the Irons couldn’t deny the suggestion anymore adamantly or quickly when we asked the “Is it true” question this morning.

Sakho is fitter than anyone can recall seeing him and is as again pleading with the boss to be given a run out.However, Β head of medics Gary Lewin, is determined to ensure as far as possible that there is no chance of another breakdown.

The Senegal striker is described as being way in front of Andy Carroll in terms of readiness for the new season and the player knows this is a crucial period in his career.

He knows it’s “make or break” as he bids to make a real impact on the PL again and were he to fail through form or injury he would be unlikely to earn a new West Ham deal or get a move.

Our source said: “He looks outstanding and is in a very good place – he’s happy, smiling and looking forward to the season.”

    If everyone of our strikers are playing at their peak he is still the best number 9 at the club. I just hope these rumours are true and he is fit because it would be like signing another 20-30m striker. I would love to see a frontline with Sakho, Hernandez, Anautouvic and Lanzini in it.

    I was so excited to hear about Sakho’s fitness level, earlier in the week.
    I knew that Gary Lewin would be of great assistance in helping him get to peak fitness.
    A fit, happy, and motivated Sakho is a huge boost to West Ham.
    I’d like to see Bilic employ a formation using at least 2 strikers- Chicharito and Sakho could be dynamite and if they ‘click’, then they could score 35 goals between them-imagine that!!

    Me to max , were still conceding goals albeit pre season so we need to score more than we conceded , OK that’s obvious but you get my drift , I thought obiang was top man when playing in the 3 friendly so far which has been pretty much overlooked , another player like him along with chieck to put noble to bed would make us considerable more balanced defensively,πŸ˜‰
