Alou Diarra claims to have been given the impression that he was never wanted by West Ham United boss Sam Allardyce.

Cheated

The 31-year-old added: "Should I have spoken to the coach before I signed? I wanted to but he was always at training. "I was handed a three-year contract, but he (Allardyce) wanted to work with his own players that have followed him for years. "It is one of my worst memories because I have been cheated. I could not accept the situation any longer and went to meet with my representatives. They understood and I thank them. "I have turned the West Ham page until the end of the season, because I have been loaned with no option to buy." To find out more about live football on Sky sports, Click here
