West Ham accept £17m bid from Fulham to sign Issa Diop after David Moyes’ comments

West Ham United have accepted a bid of £17million from London rivals Fulham to sign French centre-back Issa Diop this summer.

First reported by Foot Mercato, football.London understands that the Hammers have accepted a bid from newly-promoted Fulham to sign Diop, with the centre-back not featuring for David Moyes’ side on Sunday during their 2-0 defeat to Manchester City at the London Stadium.

The Hammers currently have a shortage of available centre-backs, with Ben Johnson having to feature as a makeshift option next to Kurt Zouma against Pep Guardiola’s side. Craig Dawson (thigh) and Nayef Aguerd (ankle) are both currently sidelined, while Angelo Ogbonna is currently working on a comeback from a cruciate ligament rupture that he suffered last November.
