West Ham defender Issa Diop has not handed in a transfer request, according to the Claret & Hugh. The website claim to have made contact with an insider that refuted claims that the Frenchman wants to leave the London Stadium.

The likes of Manchester United and Tottenham have been linked with the 23-year-old in recent months, but it appears reports of an imminent departure are wide of the mark.

Diop will be allowed to leave if an offer is too good to turn down but, as things stand, the centre-back is not actively looking to leave the Hammers.

It was reported last summer that the London club would only sell the player if a bid matched their £60m asking price, but no team has so far been willing to match their valuation.

Diop struggled for form earlier in the season but he is said to have won over manager David Moyes with his most recent performances.
