Supporters of West Ham United have been reacting to a social media post which showed the home of former Hammers player Diafra Sakho.
On Wednesday, West Ham News relayed the image from the player’s Instagram story in which he had one of his West Ham shirts framed and a larger print of himself playing for the Irons on the wall, which fans reacted to.

He forced a move out of the club and we call him Proper West Ham? He’s another overpaid footballer who decided to ply his trades elsewhere cause he’d made enough money from us.

The 30-year-old Senegalese is currently without a club, however, was with the Hammers between 2014 and 2018, having arrived from FC Metz and departed for Stade Rennais (per Transfermarkt).
While situated in London, the striker made 71 appearances for West Ham, during which he bagged a respectable 24 goals and four assists (per Transfermarkt).
One of the better signings in the recent era, but “proper West Ham” ????

What do we think?
As can be judged from the image of the Senegalese striker (as per West Ham News), Sakho clearly still has quite the affinity for the London Stadium club.
However, supporters seem a little divided over their former man, with most highly rating the 30-year-old, although some were left disappointed with the way he departed.
