Crystal Palace have been linked with a late move for West Ham defender Issa Diop, according to ExWHUemployee, cited by Hammers News.
And, as to be expected, a number of Palace supporters have been reacting to the rumour on social media.
The report suggests that Diop has fallen down the pecking order at the London Stadium following Kurt Zouma’s arrival from Chelsea.
Patrick Vieira reportedly wants to add to his defensive ranks before the deadline, with a loan move for Diop a possibility.
The 24-year-old, who stands at 6 foot 4, has made 95 appearances for the Irons, but he is yet to feature during the current campaign.
The Frenchman is valued at £16.2m by Transfermarkt and still has two years left on his contract, and it seems as if a late switch across London could be on the cards.
Palace fans react
@CPFCtransfersHQ shared the links to Diop on Twitter on Tuesday morning. This is what these Eagles fans had to say in reply, with one labelling it as 'interesting'.
“huh?”
“Pointless use of a PL loan tbh”
“Interesting”
“Odd but ok”
“Loan wouldn’t be the worst for us”
“We do seem a bit thin at CB, Especially with the injury record of Tomkins and the fact Kelly played zero minutes last year.”
