Alou Diarra, the midfielder who has seen limited play under West Ham manager Sam Allardyce, has expressed his desire to leave the club. The former Marseille player is unhappy with his situation at West Ham and is looking for a new challenge. Diarra mentioned in an interview with l’Equipe that he wants to leave the club, stating that he doesn’t feel valued by the current coach, Sam Allardyce. Despite not being explicitly told, Diarra believes he is not in Allardyce’s plans, and he is seeking a move to find more playing time.
Having joined West Ham in the summer, the 31-year-old French international has only made five appearances for the team. Diarra is open to changing leagues, and there are rumors of interest from Espanyol Barcelona in La Liga. However, his salary may pose a potential obstacle to a move to the Spanish club.
