West Brom, Crystal Palace, Swansea and Newcastle United are all in the hunt to land West Ham renegade Diafra Sakho, according to The Daily Mail.

The Senegalese forward has made a name for himself since swapping French football for a stint in London and was an immediate success at the Clarets.

However, cracks in his relationship with manager Slaven Bilic started to appear last season after Sakho was omitted from the starting line-up for a clash with Arsenal.

The African went on to post a foul-mouthed post on Twitter, while he is seemingly now surplus to requirements as West Ham look to land a high-profile new striker before the start of the new season.

Sakho did not travel with the Hammers for a pre-season tour of Austria and it looks like only a matter of time before the wantaway star leaves the Olympic Stadium for a new challenge elsewhere – possibly at another Premier League club.
