West Ham have rejected an offer from Rennes for striker Diafra Sakho, according to Sky sources.

Sakho passed an unauthorised medical with the Ligue 1 club on the penultimate day of the last transfer window, although a proposed £9m move to France failed to materialise for the 28-year-old.

Sky Sports News understands Sakho wants to leave the Hammers because he feels undervalued compared to the club's other strikers.

Transfer Talk: Hold up for Sanchez?

The Transfer Talk panel discuss what is holding up the swap deal involving Alexis Sanchez and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The forward currently earns £30,000 a week at the London Stadium, while the other strikers in squad earn between £80,000 and £110,000 a week.

Sky Sports News understands Crystal Palace agreed a fee, thought to be between £10m and £12m, for the striker earlier this month, although one source close to the deal has suggested Roy Hodgon's side have pulled out of the move.
