El Hadji Malick Diouf, Brentford and West Ham
28 August 2026
Brentford have completed the signing of West Ham left-back El Hadji Malick Diouf in a deal worth up to £40 million. The Senegal international signed a five-year contract, with Brentford holding an option for another season.
The move completes a hard update from the earlier verbal agreement. Brentford will pay £35 million upfront plus £5 million in add-ons, while West Ham make a sizeable profit after buying Diouf from Slavia Prague for £19 million.
