Diafra Sakho is fully committed to his new life in the Premier League, and especially to West Ham United. The 24-year-old Senegalese striker, who transferred from FC Metz during the recent window, has made a rapid impact in England—scoring six goals in seven appearances across all competitions.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Sakho emphasized that personal success is secondary to the team’s progress:
“I’m delighted with my performances, but the most important thing is that West Ham keep winning games… I don’t care about scoring goals as long as West Ham wins.”
Sakho credits his seamless adaptation to life in England to the warm welcome he received:
“I’ve adapted well to life in England and I’m grateful to my teammates who have helped me a lot since I arrived. Everyone at the club—the manager, the staff, and the owners—has welcomed me very well.”
He also shared his admiration for the West Ham fanbase:
“I love playing for West Ham. Playing for our fans is a great experience, them supporting us and inspiring me when I play.”
At this rate, Diafra Sakho is quickly becoming a fan favorite at Upton Park, combining humble attitude with consistent goal-scoring—just what the Hammers need in their Premier League campaign.
