‘Diafra Sakho has not been charged with any offence. He vigorously
denies the allegations that have been made against him, and has given
police a complete explanation of events.

Sakho joined West Ham in August last year and has scored 12 goals for the team in 26 Premier League appearances.
He is described as ‘quick, strong and an
outstanding athlete’ on the West Ham website, which also says he has
‘taken to life in the Premier League like a duck to water’.
The profile describes him as a ‘quietly
confident striker’. He played in West Ham’s second home match of the
season on Saturday, in which the London side lost 4-3 to Bournemouth.
Before joining the club, he previously played for French side FC Metz.
