Diafra Sakho added fuel to the fire started by Tony Henry's words at West Ham by hinting there are more racist actions in the club than initially imagined.
The team's Sporting Director was suspended over racist statements involving African players, as he reportedly asked agents to stop sending them options to sign footballers from that continent, as they "created chaos" and "cause problems when they're not playing," according to an email leaked in recent days.
With those claims in mind, Senegalese footballer Diafra Sakho went on to tell the truth about such claims, especially because Henry named him in the email. Sakho ranted about Henry's quotes and hinted that there are more racist acts performed by the club.
"They're lying. They say I'm no good because I stand up to defend myself. I'm a lion! They were afrad and now everyone will see why I wanted to leave the club. I'm telling fans the ugly truth about this team: they don't want black players. We'll leave the club one by one. Good luck to all of West Ham's supporters, soon the truth will be out there. I believe justice will be done," Sakho stated.
West Ham fires Tony Henry
Moments ago, West Ham's hierarchy has decided to part ways with Tony Henry following his unfortunate comments.
A team spokesman revealed the news, as reported by the Daily Mail.
"West Ham United have today terminated the contract of Director of Player Recruitment, Tony Henry, with immediate effect following his unacceptable comments that were widely reported in the press. West Ham United will not tolerate any type of discrimination."
"The West Ham United family is an inclusive one where, regardless of gender, age, ability, race, religion or sexual orientation, everybody feels welcome and included," the spokesman added.
