El Hadji Malick Diouf was an inquiry only from #Brentfordfc and #WestHam have no interest in selling, so not one to get excited about atm. #Bees make many such calls about players and LB not a top priority atm anyway. (w/@chrisreidy1)

STANDSExclusive: #Brentfordfc agree fee with #WestHam to sign El Hadji Malick Diouf. Believed to be an initial £35m plus £5m in add-ons. Has been interest from at least one other club but the player is believed to be keen to move to #Bees. Still some work to do finalising finer points of deal, medical to scheduled etc. More on @SkySportsNews #whufc
