West Ham are set for a busy end to the January transfer window as a number of deals look set to be completed, regarding both incoming and outgoing pieces of business.

The Hammers have been prepared for a huge shake-up in their forward line during the mid-season window, with a number of players set to make a move away from the London Stadium, and one significant deal is set to go ahead.

The Mail states Diafra Sakho has passed a medical with French side Rennes ahead of a switch to the French side, as the forward seeks to secure more regular opportunities ahead of his World Cup campaign with Senegal this summer.

Sakho travelled across the English channel this weekend and a move is now poised to go ahead, with West Ham said to be eyeing former Southampton striker Graziano Pelle as a potential replacement- although his wage demands remain an issue.

The exit of Sakho would raise funds and make movement available in the wage budget, which will improve West Ham’s position as David Moyes seeks to secure late additions in the market.
