Liverpool and Newcastle are monitoring developments with West Ham’s Mo Diame who looks set to leave the club this summer. He said at the time: “Liverpool? I can’t tell you if I will be a Liverpool player next season. But I think my name is still on their wanted list. I’m ambitious and I want to join a top-six side. I am 26 years old and it’s time to take that step.” Diame has a year left on his West Ham contract and has a £3.5 million buyout clause in his contract.
