ExWHUemployee shares what he has been told about potential Issa Diop exit at West Ham United
David Moyes believes that West Ham United can get more money for Issa Diop if he was to move on this summer, according to ExWHUemployee.
Reports have surfaced this week that a proposed move to Fulham has stalled when it looked as though he was on the verge of moving to our London rivals.
ExWHUemployee has been in contact with his sources and shared that Fulham could now come in with a larger offer, as well as Lyon still being in the mix.
Writing on the West Ham Way Patreon page on Thursday afternoon [14 July], Ex shared the latest that he has heard as reports continue to swirl.
“It has been reported today that David Moyes has stalled the Issa Diop sale to Fulham,” he wrote.
“When I asked about the progress of this transfer a couple of days ago I was told that Moyes believes we can get more money for the player and doesn’t want to rush into selling him yet.
“Fulham are very keen to sign the player and may come in with a larger offer or Lyon (who currently have a number of players on the transfer list) could be tempted to move again should they sell some players.”
Pay up.
This is spot on from the Irons and Moyes.
If Fulham are as keen as is mentioned, then they need to stop any talking and simply cough up the cash.
Moyes is in no rush to sell any of his players, especially a direct London rival in the Premier League, even though they won’t really be any trouble to our goals next season and beyond.
Lyon coming back into the mix should they sell any of those listed players would make things very interesting too, and could actually drive up the price even further.
West Ham United are in the mix for a number of new arrivals, and of course, selling players would help with that, but with no one else really linked with another club, it would have to be Diop.
There is still plenty of time for movement after this week, and with the window open until the start of September, Diop could well start the season in claret and blue.
