West Ham United fans have taken to Twitter to respond to the latest news surrounding defender Issa Diop. 

This comes after Hammers fan Twitter account @whufc_news shared a post on their page relaying news originally shared in a transfer Q&A with Sky Sports News reporters Kaveh Solhekol and Dharmesh Sheth.

To kick off this quiz on what happened with West Ham last week, which out-of-contract striker did many Hammers fans air they would hate to be signed late in the week?

The post claimed that West Ham manager David Moyes was “not convinced by Diop when he took over at the London Stadium. However his opinion of the Frenchman has changed, and he will only be sold for ‘big money’ this summer”.

This post then gathered a lot of replies from Hammers fans who were eager to share their responses to this revelation.

Here’s a sample of West Ham fans responding to the post:

Should West Ham cash in on Diop or keep him at the club?

Keep him

The 23-year-old, who is currently valued at £31.5 million according to Transfermarkt, has been given an overall season rating of 6.7/10, making him West Ham’s ninth-highest rated player so far this campaign (per WhoScored). Now that it has been reported that the London club could be willing to depart with the defender for a large sum of money, this news has not gone down well with these Hammers fans who couldn’t help but air their frustrations on Twitter.

What do we think?

It appears from these replies that these West Ham fans don’t agree with Moyes’ reported stance on Diop. The fact that they want the defender to stay at the London Stadium just goes to show how much they like and rate his ability.
