Yakubu set for premier league stay

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce is ready to raid former club Blackburn for striker Yakubu and will hold talks with Mohamed Diame on Friday.

 Yakubu has a £1million buy-out clause in his contract and wants to stay in the Premier League despite interest from China and the Middle East.

 Former Wigan midfielder Diame, 24, is due to fly in for talks on Friday ahead of a weekend medical but is also expecting to talk to three other Premier League clubs.

 Allardyce met Juventus officials in Italy on Tuesday to discuss potential loans for Milos Krasic and Eljero Elia after being priced out of moves for Wolves duo Matt Jarvis and Michael Kightly.
