Arsenal and Chelsea had been put on red alert as Westham's attempt to tie a new deal for their prolific midfield enforcer, Mohammed Diame has failed.

It's believed the midfielder is no more willing to remain at the club and as such wants a transfer. Arsene Wenger has been an admirer of Diame as a result of his ability to command play and would be looking to add him to his team.

Westham do not want him to leave but Sam Alardyce has admitted that talks had't been positive.

“The owners have tried to renegotiate the contract, but they haven’t been successful at the moment.” he said.

This is an opportunity for Wenger to add depth to his team.
