Crystal Palace ‘agree £25m double deal’ for Everton star Oumar Niasse and West Ham ace Diafra Sakho
Palace are set to agree deals for the Senegalese strikers for a combined fee of £25 million
CRYSTAL PALACE have agreed a deal with West Ham for Diafro Sakho for a fee of around £12m.
Hodgson has agreed a deal for the Senagalese from the London Stadium even though he has not featured for West Ham since mid-December.
The 28 year-old wished to leave the Hammers last summer to go to French side Rennes, but ultimately a deal never materialised.
The forward has scored 24 goals in 72 appearances for the club.
Crystal Palace are also looking to agree a deal for the signing of Oumar Niasse over the coming days, with West Ham willing to sell for about £13m according to the Evening Standard.
Niasse was never expected to be a prominent figure at Goodison Park but he is the Toffee's third top scorer and has scored six goals in the five games he has started.
However, Sam Allardyce is ready to part ways with the striker after Everton completed the £27 million deal for Turkish striker Cenk Tosun.
With the deals likely to be confirmed in the coming days, the future of current Palace striker Christian Benteke is increasingly uncertain.
Benteke has struggled to make an impact this season having only notched up one goal in 16 appearances for the Eagles.
