Crystal Palace in Talks to Sign West Ham's Diafra Sakho in Search for New Striker

Crystal Palace are in talks with West Ham over a potential deal for striker Diafra Sakho, Sky Sports have reported.

The Senegalese forward has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs since the opening of the January transfer window, including Newcastle and Everton.

But it appears that Palace have made a move to bring in Sakho, who has fallen out of favour under David Moyes.

The 28-year-old has yet to start for the Hammers in the Premier League, making 14 appearances as a substitute and scoring just twice.

It appears that Sakho is surplus to requirements at West Ham, having struggled with fitness issues and a lack of consistency.
