West Ham United allegedly could be set to raid Paris Saint-Germain for the third time this summer – this time for Abdou Diallo.
That’s according to a report from French publication Foot Mercato (covered via Senego) who claim that the Hammers are keen to make their third purchase from the Paris giants this summer.

West Ham have already signed Alphonse Areola from PSG and are closing in on a deal to bring Thilo Kehrer to the London Stadium for around £15 million including add-ons (Sky Sports).
Diallo could be available for around £21 million this summer according to a report from Foot Mercato.
David Moyes is desperate to bolster his defensive ranks at West Ham with Nayef Aguerd and Craig Dawson out injured, Angelo Ogbonna nowhere near match fitness and Issa Diop having left to join Fulham.
And it seems as though the Scot has someone in particular in mind for the job…
West Ham chasing Abdou Diallo signing
Foot Mercato (covered via Senego) claim that the 26-year-old is firmly on the Hammers’ radar this summer.
£21 million is very good value indeed in our book and we believe Moyes should not hesitate to bring him to the London Stadium.
Diallo is a two time Ligue 1 winner and a two time Coupe de France champion.
We think that the 26-year-old would be a very smart addition indeed for West Ham for just £21 million, considering the fact that he can play in both the left-back and centre-back positions.
Diallo made 12 appearances for PSG last season. During those outings, the 26-year-old averaged 2.1 tackles, 1.1 interceptions and 1.1 clearances per match.
He made an average of 58.7 passes per game and recorded a completion rate of 88.8% (Who Scored).
Diallo is absolutely rapid. In two Champions League games for PSG last season he clocked speeds of 30.3 km/h (UEFA).
He is also very apt at winning back possession for his team and averaged 7.5 ball recoveries per game in the Champions League last season (UEFA).
The PSG ace seems to have everything West Ham need
His ability to play in both the centre-back and left-back positions is exactly what we need right now.
And if West Ham sign Abdou Diallo as well as Thilo Kehrer, it will be a superb piece of business for the club.
