Report: Fulham make bid for Hammer

Fulham have made a bid worth £12m plus add-ons to sign Issa Diop from West Ham this summer, per The Athletic.

The promoted side are said to have already made an offer of £10m plus add-ons, which was rejected, but have come back with a second offer worth £12m plus add-ons.

The Cottagers want Diop to sign a five-year contract if he does join them in this transfer window.

The Irons have already signed Nayef Aguerd from Rennes and Diop is now seen as an expendable option within the squad.

Diop only made 13 Premier League appearances last season and he could now be set for an exit this summer.

As well as Fulham, there is also interest from French club Lyon, who want to take him back to Ligue 1.

It remains to be seen if they will table a bid to rival Fulham’s offer but it does not appear that they have done so yet.
