Senegal and West Ham striker, Diafra Sakho has been arrested for threatening to kill a girlfriend, just days after allegedly assaulting her.

Police swooped on the West Ham striker’s luxury Essex pad again before quizzing him on suspicion of making threats to kill and witness intimidation.


Sakho was already on bail after being held on suspicion of assaulting the woman earlier this month.
The £15million-rated Senegalese ace, 25, was questioned for the second time on Sunday night and released on bail until early October.

The police raid on Sakho’s £3million home in swanky Emerson Park, Hornchurch, will stun fans and teammates at Upton Park.

He became a firm favourite after bagging 12 goals in 26 games in his first season.
A source who spoke to british tabloid Sun said: “The club has stood by him since his last arrest but they will not be happy about this. It remains to be seen if they will take any action.

“The fans love him and he certainly knows how to score a goal, but the Hammers don’t need this kind of negative publicity.”

Meanwhile Hammers Boss Slaven Bilic has refused to take any punitive measures as the 25-year-old continues to train with the team.

Bilic said: “He looks OK and is not worried. He is still positive and training normally.”
Police have not revealed the identity of the alleged victim.
