Reports claim West Ham United is considering a move for Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Seny Dieng in the summer transfer window.
DiengThe 26-year-old has been on the Rangers’ books since 2016. But he had never appeared with West Londoners before this season. The Senegalese international had enjoyed many seasons on loan outside of the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium. He has played for non-Whitehawk and Hampton & Richmond Borough clubs.
And the Swiss-born shooting stopper has also appeared for Stevenage, Dundee, and Doncaster Rovers.
It may have seemed like his Hoops chances were over, but Mark Warburton has given him a chance this term. And the well traveled porter has I took it with both hands.
He has started 37 of the 40 QPR championship games and helped them to 11th in the standings. His displays between the stalls have not gone unnoticed and there was interest in January.
Arsenal, Leeds United y Crystal Palace It was thought that everyone was interested in the winter window. And the Hammers are said to have joined their long list of fans, according to The Sun.
It has been indicated that David Moyes will make a move in the summer as he looks to shape his team for the future.
Would Dieng follow Fabianski?
Lukasz Fabianski is the man Moyes currently trusts with the gloves at the London Stadium. The Polish international is in his third season with West Ham but, at 35, cannot go on forever.
So the Scottish strategist will already be planning for his successor and Dieng could be the man. Fabianski will be out of contract at the end of next season.
And that could mean Dieng will act as a backup in 2021-2022 while gaining some first-team experience. He has three years left on his contract with the Rangers, but it could be available for as little as £ 6 million.
That would represent a decent business for West Ham, with finances tight during the pandemic. West Ham are enjoying an excellent season and have a real chance of qualifying for the Champions League.
They sit sixth in the table but will return to the top four with a win over Leicester on Sunday. Whatever happens between now and May 23, the East End team is clearly a club moving in the right direction.
And that will help with the summer recruiting. There will be some big-name moves in the offseason, but Dieng could be the bargain of the summer if a deal can be reached.
