Papa Mahmoud Gueye says West Ham United have failed to acquire the services of Habib Diallo. The Hammers are keen on attacking reinforcements and have their sights on the 28-year-old. They recently bid €17 million to sign him, but Strasbourg rejected it.
Diallo has been heavily interested in the Premier League of late. Multiple clubs want him in their squad, and the Hammers are one of them. However, their first attempt has failed, but they can surely return with a stronger bid as they do have the financial strength.
The 28-year-old is on the radar of multiple top clubs because of his heroics in the 2022–23 season. He played in 38 matches and scored 20 goals. Diallo has been at RC Strasbourg since October 2020 and has featured in over 100 matches. But he only has 41 goals in total, and almost half of those were scored last season. He is in the form of his life, and that is why his services are so popular.

He came through the ranks at FC Metz before making the move to Strasbourg. He has slowly gained strength since completing the move. And, at this point in time, there are multiple clubs seeking his services. But West Ham have jumped the gun by making the first move and submitting a bid.
While the Ligue 1 club has rejected the €17 million bid, he could still be on the move in the ongoing window given the amount of interest in his services. The Hammers were not at their most impressive last season. They struggled in the Premier League and somehow managed to avoid relegation. One of their major concerns throughout was their form in front of the goal.
While winning the UEFA Conference League surely helps their cause, it cannot wash away the fact that they desperately need to reinforce their attack. As a result, they could again push for the 28-year-old’s services in an improved bid.
