West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has said that striker Diafra Sakho is back in his plans for this season.
Sakho was linked with a move away from the club during the summer following the arrivals of Javier Hernandez and Marko Arnautovic.
He did however manage to stake a case for a place in the team by netting the only goal of the game during the East London clubs much needed 1-0 win over Swansea City this weekend. Had Sakho had this way this summer, he would have joined French Ligue 1 club Rennes.
Bilic has now said that he never intended on selling the forward and added that the player is part of his plans for the season. He said, “There have been stories about him, in the transfer window and all that. He stayed and balanced his head here.
“He is fitter, he is training better, he is sharper, he is quicker. You can see that he is injury-free and he is doing well in training.”
