#2 Diafra Sakho

Former West Ham United striker, Diafra Sakho is a unique striker with great aerial ability as well as footwork. A quick centre-forward, Sakho is a potent threat in the air and causes defences a lot of problems during his runs down the channel.
Currently plying his club trade in France, with Rennes, Sakho has secured a spot in Senegal's team and along with Mane will be the team's most prominent attacking stars. A good hold up player as well, Sakho has an incredible work ethic to go along with his skills and ability.
Since his move from West Ham to Rennes, the striker has regained some confidence and form by netting a few goals in the French league. Goals at the World Cup will not be easy to come by for the player, although his sneaky presence could fetch his country some important chances.
