Diop: West Ham new-boy Haller is like Man Utd striker Lukaku... he can do everything!

West Ham defender Issa Diop is excited at the prospect of a reunion with former team-mate Sebastien Haller, comparing him to Romelu Lukaku and describing him as a "complete striker".

Diop, 22, played with Haller at under-21 level for France and will be well versed in the threat he poses after coming up against him during training sessions.

Haller was part of a deadly partnership with new Real Madrid signing Luka Jovic last season, scoring 20 goals and notching 12 assists in 41 games for Eintracht Frankfurt, convincing Manuel Pellegrini to spend £40 million ($50m) on him .
