Alas poor Yannick?

Sky Sports News claims we're after Benin international Yannick Sagbo, who plays for Evian (a watered down side?) in France. He's also Guy Demel's half-brother, though hopefully less injury-prone. The 22-year-old striker has told Sky: "Joining West Ham would be ideal for me." And at least Sagbo has chanting possibilities, as well as sounding like a character from Lord of the Rings.

So far we've apparently been after Cardiff's Peter Whittingham, Jordan Rhodes of Huddersfield and Townsend of Tottenham, who ended up at Leeds, and some defender playing in the US. Be nice to see something happen 11 days into the window.
