'Proud' Diafra Sakho to Stay at West Ham Despite Uncertainty Amid Personal Problems

After seeming as though he was on his way out of the club earlier on deadline day, West Ham United's Diafra Sakho is set to remain at the London Stadium for the foreseeable future.

Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol claims that the east Londoners understand the striker's personal problems, which were initially a factor in his desire to leave the Hammers, but after talking with his current employers, it's said that a new deal could have been tabled in order to prolong his stay in Stratford.

Despite the Hammers not agreeing to sell, Sakho supposedly underwent a medical at Ligue 1 outfit Stade Rennais on Wednesday, and rather than returning to the club's training facility on Thursday, the 27-year-old spent the most part of the day at Chelmsford race course with his agent Mark Mackay.
