Hull signing Diame hits out at West Ham boss Allardyce

Hull City signing Momo Diame has hit out at West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce.

The midfielder, who joined Hull in a £3.5m deadline-day move, claims he would have moved to a bigger club if he had got better treatment at Upton Park.

Senegal captain Diame joined West Ham in 2012 after three seasons at Wigan.

"At West Ham I was shunted around all the different positions," he said. "I remember one time I had to play as a striker.

"That was not good for my career. I wanted to play for a club that is high in the Premier League table.

"At least with Hull I will be certain of playing in my favoured role.

"I should have left West Ham a long time ago, as with them I wasn't permitted to play in central midfield.

"I wasn't able to get the biggest clubs interested in me, as when they came to watch me I'd been put in a position that was not mine.

"You lose your bearings when you get shunted around all the different positions."
