El Hadji Malick Diouf is reportedly a target for Newcastle United as his current club, West Ham United, may need to sell players due to financial pressures. The London club announced a record loss of £104.2 million, and the 21-year-old Senegalese full-back could be sold to raise funds. Newcastle is seeking a player to compete with or act as a backup for Lewis Hall, and a potential relegation for West Ham could cause Diouf's market value to drop.
