Reports claim West Ham United are pondering a move for Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper Seny Dieng in the summer transfer window.

Dieng, 26, has been on the Rangers books since 2016. But he had never made an appearance for the west Londoners prior to this season. The Senegal international had enjoyed many loan stints away from the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium. He has played for non-league clubs Whitehawk and Hampton & Richmond Borough.

It may have seemed as though his Hoops chances were over but Mark Warburton has handed him an opportunity this term. And the much-travelled keeper has taken it with both hands.
