West Ham United's Mohamed Diame to leave club in January?

West Ham United could reportedly lose midfielder Mohamed Diame in the January transfer window due to the player's release clause.

The 25-year-old, who scored in the Hammers' 3-1 win over Chelsea on Saturday, has been a welcome addition to Upton Park since joining on a free transfer from Wigan Athletic.

It is believed that talks with the midfielder's agent are due to begin this week over his contract, which is thought to have a £6m release clause, according to the Daily Mail.

Reports have claimed that the Senegal international is in no hurry to tie himself down to a new deal at the Premier League outfit.
