The Hammers will have to pay more than £6 million for the 26-year-old stopper, however, according to QPR boss Mark Warburton (West London Sport).
David Moyes may well be looking to bolster his goalkeeping department over the course of the next 12 months.
Number one Lukasz Fabianski and number two Darren Randolph will be 36 and 34 respectively before the start of next season.
And The Sun (11 April, page 67) claims that Moyes wants to bring Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Seny Dieng to the London Stadium as Fabianski’s long-term replacement.
West Ham will have to spend big to get Seny Dieng
QPR boss Mark Warburton has suggested that the one-capped Senegal international won’t be going anywhere on the cheap (West London Sport):
“Where does this (£6 million) come from? Where do these figures come from? I’m sure David Moyes and West Ham would go about their business in a far more professional manner if they had an interest in the player. The validity of that source is questionable at best. Put it that way. And the bigger picture? If any player leaves it will be for QPR’s valuation. Everyone’s got a price. The best player in the world has a price if you’re prepared to pay it. If any player leaves QPR it will be if the board deems it good value for the club.”
Dieng joined QPR from MSV Duisburg in 2016.
In 39 games for the Hoops, the 26-year-old has let in just 49 goals and has kept 10 clean sheets in the process (Transfermarkt).
Standing at 6ft 4in tall, Dieng cuts an imposing figure. He commands his penalty area with authority and is an impressive shot-stopper.
West Ham will clearly have their work cut-out if they are to sign Seny Dieng this summer, however.
