Alleged West Ham target Boulaye Dia has broken his silence amidst heavy links with a move to east London.

According to a report from Le 10 Sport, Hammers boss David Moyes wants to bring the 24-year-old to the London Stadium.
In fact, the Stade Reims striker’s agent Frederic Guerra suggested that West Ham have already made an approach to sign his client (Le 10 Sport).
Boulaye Dia would be an excellent addition for the Hammers.
The Frenchman is quick, powerful and is a very good finisher indeed.
West Ham should be going all out for Boulaye Dia
He has been on fire for Stade Reims this season. Dia has scored 12 goals in 17 Ligue 1 appearances (Transfermarkt). The powerful hitman is joint top scorer with PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe.
At 24, the Stade Reims hitman is at just the right age to make the step up to the Premier League from Ligue 1.
And Dia certainly didn’t rule that particular scenario out when speaking exclusively to TF1:
“I could leave as I could stay. The month is very long, I am focused on Stade de Reims, I only think of that I do not control thing outside sport. I am very well in Reims, it is is a beautiful family.”
Judging by Boulaye Dia’s comments, there is a 50/50 chance that he could leave.
Whether West Ham manage to win the race for his signature, however, remains to be seen.
The 24-year-old could be available for around £14 million (EN24 News).
And that seems like very decent value for the Hammers.
