Sakho refuses to travel to Austria
The striker handed in a transfer request earlier this month after previously claiming a sickness bug prevented him from travelling to Seattle and North Carolina for West Ham’s US pre season tour. Reports later claimed he was due to see a specialist in France over a back problem.
The Sky Sports report claims Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion, as well as Sevilla and Hamburg, have all enquired about Sakho’s availability. The striker was the subject of a failed ridiculously low bid from Sunderland last month.
The 26-year-old joined on a four-year contract and has scored 15 goals in 43 Premier League appearances.
West Ham are happy to release Sakho as long as a club meets their £15m valuation with the majority of the money up front and not based on appearances or performance conditions.
