Stay glued to your screens Hammers fans because it looks like former striker Diafra Sakho is about to open up on his highly controversial move to France pretty soon, if his words on social media are to be believed.



The striker seemed pretty riled up when a fan wanted to hear his version of the transfer after co-chairman David Gold’s recent tweet seem to suggest that the 28-year-old pretended to have an injury in order to force his move.

Diafra Sakho told our medical team he was injured and was unavailable to play against Wigan. I passed that information on to you and you call me a liar. https://t.co/ccmi8WMnqn

And it now looks like Sakho wants to hit back at those claims which could further strain the already fragile relationship between the supporters and the Hammers board.

Things looked to have cooled down under Moyes but have heated up again following Sakho’s absence in the FA cup fixture against Wigan last week.

Check out screenshots of Sakho’s alleged social media conversation with a West Ham fan below:

2018 has certainly started with a bang with the January transfer window already seeing Philippe Coutinho finally get his transfer to Barcelona and Alexis Sanchez following Robin van Persie in making the controversial switch from North London to Manchester.



Sanchez’s move has particularly grabbed the headlines in England with Ed Woodward brokering a blockbuster swap deal with the Gunners to provide Jose with some much needed firepower in his quest to stop City’s march.

Given Sanchez’s huge popularity in South America sponsors Adidas are leaving no stones unturned in their marketing campaign to showcase the newest Red Devil.

A newspaper article in the Sanchez’ native Chile gives insight into the major PR campaigns planned by the sports moguls and even features instructions on how to get the famous number 7 jersey given to the former Barca man.

Check out the full story here:

Theo Walcott joined Everton in a deal worth more than £20 million after finally deciding to part ways with Arsene Wenger after 12 long years at Arsenal.




The forward was signed by the Frenchman when he was only 16 and the former Saints man has notched up more than 100 goals for the club since.

Given his popularity in the dressing room it was no surprise to see present and former Gunners come out to post their farewell messages for the pacy winger on social media.

While of all the messages Walcott received following his move to Merseyside were appreciated by Gooners, perhaps Lukas Podolski’s message will be deemed the pick of the lot by the red side of London.

The German couldn’t resist a dig at Spurs as he posted a photo with Walcott by saying how he loved celebrating goals against the Lilywhites with the Englishman.

The cheeky dig is set to go down well with the Arsenal support and should endear the former striker to Arsenal supporters even more.

Brazilain starlet Kenedy was given a rare start in the FA Cup fixture against the Canaries and the Brazilian would have been looking to impress Antonio Conte and hopefully force his way into the Italian’s plans.



While the winger didn’t do too much in the opening 40 minutes, what he did just before half-time was something a certain countryman of his was famous for.

In the week that Brazilian legend Ronaldinho retired, Kenedy produced a skill that the former Barcelona star was famous for – a flip-flap to leave Ivo Pinto red faced.

The brilliant piece of skill through the defender’s legs managed to capture the attention of Chelsea fans with the camera’s also capturing a very interesting reaction from Blues skipper Gary Cahill.

The England defender looked to be absolutely in awe of the youngster’s skill and has his reaction from the bench has been talked about by Chelsea fans.

Manchester United demolished Stoke City 3-0 at Old Trafford and cut City’s lead at the top of the table to 12 points.



Jose Mourinho’s side looked brilliant in spells especially during the first half and were seen toiling around with Stoke as new boss Paul Lambert looked on in despair from the stands.

Paul Pogba impressed again after another dominant display from the center of the park.

The French superstar has thrived after being given a more attacking role by the Portuguese gaffer and effortlessly unlocked the Stoke defense with his incisive passing.

A particular pass really managed to impress the home crowd as the 24-year-old picked out Luke Shaw with a 50 yard pass without even breaking a sweat.

Man City tasted defeat for the first time this season as the runaway league leaders lost 4-3 against Liverpool yesterday.



Jurgen Klopp’s men looked at their absolute best and would have had a bigger margin of victory if not for a lack of concentration in the final minutes of the game.

While fans have been chirping about the victory all around following the win perhaps most fans missed out on a brilliant aspect of their 4th goal, scored by Mo Salah.

The former Roma winger didn’t even bother to wait around for the ball to hit the net as he capitalized on Ederson’s mistake and took off to celebrate the long range strike.

David Moyes watched on with a smile from the dugout as his Hammers side thrashed Huddersfield 4-1 to join an exclusive list of managers having more than 200 Premier League wins.



Marko Arnautovic turned scorer and creator as he added to his 46th minute strike with two fine assists for team mate Manuel Lanzini.

Following the game the Austrian took to Instagram to show his appreciation for his strike partner’s efforts by commenting with the fire emoji on the Argentine’s photo.

The social media activity comes at a time when several reports were surfacing which seemed to have suggested that Lanzini was perhaps unhappy with Arnautovic for not assisting him enough.

However after setting up two on a plate for the Argentine, Arnautovic seems to have shushed these reports and his latest comments indicate all is well between the pair.

German wonder kid Jann-Fiete Arp is certainly not making any attempts to conceal his love for Tottenham, at least on social media.



The 18-year-old has already scored twice in his seven top flight appearances and was awarded the Bundesliga Rookie Award last month.
