Sakho, Valencia to make room for Bony

- Ken Dyer

STRIKERS Diafra Sakho and Enner Valencia could still be on their way out of West Ham as the club look to bring in Wilfried Bony on loan from Manchester City. Senegalese internatio­nal Sakho

looked to be going to West Brom in a £16million deal earlier in the summer but failed a medical. West Brom remain desperate to improve their squad, however, and could come back with a cut-price offer before the transfer window closes tomorrow night.

Sakho, who put in a transfer request earlier in the close season, is recovering from injury and has yet to figure in any of West Ham’s matches although manager Slavenn Bilic said: “He is our player and whenen he is ready, he will be playing for us.”

West Ham are also willinging to listen to offers for Valencia butt only if they seal a deal to sign Bony on loan, with Championsh­ip clubsbs Aston Villa and Norwich poisedd to make late bids for the Ecuadorian­rian internatio­nal.
