West Ham United recently tabled a bid of around €20 million for SK Slavia Prague defender El Hadji Malick Diouf, according to Italian transfer expert and journalist Fabrizio Romano.
However, the London Stadium club had their offer knocked back as the Czech First League club value the Senegal international higher than that.
West Ham will need to return with an improved bid if they want to Diouf, and they will be facing stiff competition for his services as plenty of clubs want him.

The 20-year-old left-back is a ‘physically dominant’ full-back who ‘dribbles like a winger’, and the Hammers could do with such a talented youngster as manager Graham Potter looks to strengthen his squad ahead of next season.
Diouf featured in 30 league games last term, weighing in with eight goals and three assists, and he also notched another eight goals and three assists in other competitions.
