The 6’5 Senegal international has signed a one-year deal with the club with the option to extend that by a further year.

The former Fulham and Portsmouth man nicknamed ‘the Wardrobe’ comes with a wealth of experience that will surely help the Hammers in their battle to exit the Championship at the earliest opportunity.

Speaking to the official site Diop made it clear that he was happy to be signing for the club.  “I am very happy today.  I enjoyed playing again and it is good to be here to sign.  I want to help West Ham go up and I hope we can be successful.

“English football is the best in the world. I have come here to work hard and give 100 per cent in every game I play for West Ham United.  I want to show the people I am back again.”
