The deal is done: El Hadji Malick Diouf is now a Brentford player after completing a switch from West Ham. The defender signs after the two clubs reached an agreement and the player completed a medical. The player is set to meet his new teammates and embark on a new chapter in his career. After interest from Manchester United and Chelsea, it was Brentford who persisted and completed the process. All formal steps are now done, and the player will begin work with his new club immediately. Brentford's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0 goals per game (0 in 1). El Hadji Malick Diouf would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. West Ham continue to be linked with Joel Piroe, Arne Engels and Troy Parrott while Brentford are also rumoured to be tracking Mamadou Sangare. Looking for Brentford transfer rumours?
