Leeds United reportedly could do West Ham a huge favour by signing Bamba Dieng in the January transfer window.

According to football journalist Mohamed Toubache-Ter, Leeds are back in for the 22-year-old Marseille forward.

And if the Whites sign Dieng, the path could be clear for the Hammers to finally bring Lorient hitman Terem Moffi to the London Stadium.

That’s because Marseille are reportedly ready to offer the Senegal international to their Ligue 1 rivals in exchange for Moffi.

RMC Sport have claimed that Marseille will demand around £13 million for the 22-year-old front-man. And if Leeds sign him for that amount, it could be all systems go for the Hammers…

If the Whites get their hands on Bamba Dieng this month, surely the Hammers will be in pole position to sign Moffi.

West Ham manager Moyes is desperate to bring the 23-year-old Nigerian to the club in the January transfer window, and it has been claimed that we actually might have a deal in place to sign him.

Marseille will undoubtedly be a problem. Lorient obviously want a replacement for Moffi before selling him, and what better way to do that than swapping him for a Ligue 1 ready player?

So come on Leeds, do us a favour and sign the Senegal international!

Moffi would be an outstanding addition for West Ham.

He is exactly what we need and would be the perfect long-term replacement for Michail Antonio – but a much better version!

The Nigerian has pace and power in abundance, and is a very good finisher as well.

He is perfectly equipped to succeed in the Premier League, so the Hammers just need to make this one happen asap.

Leeds United could do West Ham a huge favour in the process though, that’s for sure.
