West Ham matchwinner Sakho hails departing Storey

West Ham striker Diafra Sakho was delighted to prove the matchwinner against Swansea City.

Sakho came in from the cold to hit a last-minute winner for West Ham.

“I'm just happy," Sakho beamed. “I'm happy for the team to win the game, and it's a very important moment for all the players to win before the international break.

“I worked with Will Storey for three years and he has looked after me with the massages. I'm sad that he is leaving the Club, but happy that I scored the goal for him.

“He does everything for me – stretching, massage – and every day when I come in he gives me a smile.

“If I could I would keep him at the Club for a lot of years and I want to thank him for all the support and help he has given me.

“Before I went on I told him I would score for him. I did, so I'm happy!"

Storey leaves the Hammers this week after spending nearly a decade with the Club over two spells.
