West Ham striker Diafra Sakho wants a swift resolution on his future, Sky sources understand.

On Friday, 26-year-old Sakho, who scored seven goals for the Hammers last season, was the subject of an £11m bid from Sunderland.

Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce knows Sakho well, having signed the player during his time as West Ham boss from French side Metz in the summer of 2014. The Senegal international scored 12 goals in his first season, finishing as the club's top goal scorer.

Sakho is aware that West Ham have made several offers for other strikers and it is understood that he hopes any move away from the club can be concluded as swiftly as possible.
