West Ham’s season has been pretty poor in all honesty and moves in the January window to improve things didn’t quite work out.
One January addition saw Jose Fonte move to the London Stadium from Southampton, whilst across the capital fellow strugglers Crystal Palace secured Mamadou Sakho on-loan from Liverpool.
Whilst Portuguese ace Fonte has struggled to provide a major boost to the Hammers, Sakho has excelled at Selhurst Park and has been a crucial part of Sam Allardyce’s side.
Having won 2-1 at Stamford Bridge recently, the Eagles significantly boosted their survival hopes with another victory last night- blowing away Arsenal in South London to secure a 3-0 win.
Social media was awash with praise for Allardyce’s side and West ham fans were particularly impressed with Sakho, with many of them expressing their woes that the Hammers signed Fonte instead of Sakho.
Fortunately for the East London side, Sakho’s signature is set to become available permanently this summer and it’s clear many of the fanbase want the Frenchman to move to the London Stadium.

@ExWHUemployee was we ever in for Sakho. He's been excellent for palace, him on loan until August has to be better business than 8m on Fonte
