Crystal Palace are ready to make a move for wantaway West Ham United attacker Diafra Sakho and are willing to pay £15 million to land him according to The Mirror.

The Senegalese attacker has been a fans favourite at the London club but is widely expected to leave the Hammers this summer due to the search for a higher-profile number nine.

Sakho was omitted from Slaven Bilic’s side that drew 3-3 with Arsenal last season, which drew frustration from the African attacker – who responded with a foul-mouthed post on social media.

The gifted forward has since refused to go on a pre-season tour of Austria with West Ham and a number of Premier League clubs are believed to be circling.

Palace are in the market for a new centre forward to lead their line and Alan Pardew is said to be ready to make Sakho that man this summer.
