West Ham striker Diafra Sakho has landed himself in hot water again after a bizarre row with manager David Moyes over his appearance bonus.
The Hammers lost to Arsenal 1-0 on Tuesday night, but before the Carabao Cup clash, Sakho was said to have spoken to Moyes about his lack of playing time, believing his hefty appearance bonus is what has kept the Scot from picking him.
The Senegal international earns a reported £40,000 a week at the London Stadium, however that weekly wage is bumped up by an extra £10,000 if he starts a Premier League game – something he has yet to do this season.
He then reportedly threatened the leave before kick-off over the disagreement, however was convinced and remained on the bench.
It’s not the first time Sakho has raised eyebrows this year.
On deadline day during the summer, the striker unsuccessfully tried to force a move to Ligue 1 side only to be kept at the club against his will, and he has since reiterated his desire to leave London as soon as possible.
After his latest controversy, the West Ham fans have had just about enough …

But he wasn't starting last year either? The fella just wants to go and is reminding the board of that. Let him go and take Carroll with him.
