The son of West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has previously broken transfer news on social media.

And Sullivan certainly used an intriguing choice of words, given the rumours around West Ham at the moment.

Sky Sports have reported how West Ham are very close to agreeing a deal with Toulouse for centre-back Issa Diop.

And Sullivan posted a picture with the caption ‘Issa A Vibe’ on Instagram yesterday, which has led to fans of the London club speculating over its meaning.

‘Issa’ has become a colloquial term, but the timing of Sullivan’s Instagram post is certainly intriguing.

If West Ham do bring in Diop, it seems likely that the young defender would go straight into Manuel Pellegrini’s side’s defence for next season.
