STUNNER! Diafra Sakho was offered to QPR before signing for West Ham

The agent of Diafra Sakho has revealed he was offered to QPR before signing for West Ham United.

The former Metz striker has been a sensation for the Hammers this season.

Mark McKay told Sky Sports: "He was actually recommended to QPR's chief scout and offered to them, but that fell on deaf ears.

"However, David Sullivan was determined to sign him and he went to great lengths to get the deal done.

"I am glad he is playing well for Sam Allardyce and scoring goals and the West Ham fans must be happy David Sullivan worked so hard to bring Sakho to the club."
