Midfielder Lassana Diarra still hopes to move to West Ham United

By , Reporter
Former Chelsea midfielder Lassana Diarra still hopes to complete a move to West Ham United having seen an initial attempt blocked by FIFA.

Midfielder Lassana Diarra has revealed that he still hopes to complete a move to West Ham United.

The Frenchman was training with the East London club ahead of a deal last week, but FIFA blocked the move due to his contract dispute with Lokomotiv Moscow, who he claims fired him.

He told reporters: "As long as the conflict is not sorted, FIFA forbid me to play so it's so frustrating. What happened was that I got fired from a club and now I cannot play football. It's a crazy thing because I'm free.

"Hopefully it can all be resolved and the deal with West Ham can be completed."

Diarra has previously played for Chelsea, Arsenal and Real Madrid.
