West Brom's £15m move for West Ham striker Diafra Sakho is
off because the player has a back problem.
It is understood the Senegalese passed his medical but
he would not have been fit for the start of the season.
Sakho, 26, scored 15 league goals in 44 appearances for West
Ham, although he has suffered several injury problems.
His likely arrival had added to speculation that the club
would sell striker Saido Berahino, 23, who is a target for Crystal Palace and
Stoke.
The Potters have offered £17m with £3m in add-ons for the
England Under-21 international - a fee which is close to West Brom's valuation
of the striker.
However, with the Sakho deal now off, Berahino will be
remaining at the club.
