The East London outfit have been linked with a move to sign the pacy striker on numerous occasions before – most recently just a few days ago.
Hammers manager David Moyes needs to add a new forward to his ranks at the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.
Gianluca Scamacca, Michail Antonio and Danny Ings have all been linked with exits at one time or another this summer.
And it seems as though Diallo is someone who Moyes is eyeing to come in and strengthen his options…
West Ham have made an official £14 million offer for Habib Diallo
L’Equipe reckon that the Hammers have made the first move to bring the 28-year-old striker to the Premier League this summer, with a £14 million bid.
However, it is said that the Ligue outfit are demanding ‘much more’ than that in order to sell Diallo this summer.
The 28-year-old was in fine form this season. He scored 20 goals in 37 Ligue 1 outings, and has netted 41 goals in 103 career appearances for Strasbourg (Transfermarkt).
His career record for his previous club Metz is very impressive, with 48 goals and 14 assists in 116 games to his name (Transfermarkt).
Habib Diallo has bags of pace, is very strong in the air and when playing with his back to goal and is always willing to make those tireless runs into the channels – in other words, he’d be the perfect fit for West Ham.
It’s just a shame that he’s not a few years younger.
