West Ham striker Diafra Sakho determined to be Boleyn Ground hero

West Ham United striker Diafra Sakho is determined to be a Boleyn Ground hero.

Sakho insists his minimum target for the club is to score once in every home game.

The Ligue 2 Player of the Year for 2013-14 said: "It's great to have scored on my home debut and hopefully you'll see plenty more of that.

"Whenever I turn out at the Boleyn Ground, the minimum I'm aiming for is to score once!

"The atmosphere is so, so different to France. Here, even when you make a run to win back the ball, perhaps chasing a lost cause, the fans appreciate it and applaud you. It gives you that added incentive to give even more for the supporters and for the club."
