West Ham United sensation striker Diafra Sakho admits he owes his move to co-chairman David Sullivan.
His dream move to England nearly didn't happen after initial rejection by QPR and then West Ham pulling out of a loan deal as Sam Allardyce wrestled to find the right striker.
"I have always wanted to play in England and when West Ham came in for me in the summer, I thought that was it," said Sakho. "But then the deal began to fall through as I think the coach was having doubts and I was resigned to returning to France.
"Fortunately for me, Mr Sullivan stepped in and said he would be signing me and on a permanent deal. It was the chance I needed."
