West Ham United’s striker Diafra Sakho has hit out at Senegal coach Alain Giresse for ignoring him.Sakho, who has scored six goals in as many games for the Hammers this season, has not been called up with the Teranga Lions for the Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2015 qualifiers so far after making his international debut in a friendly against Kosovo last May.“When I signed for West Ham, he phoned me and said that as I was changing club he will wait and see how it goes. But when I started scoring goal after goal and many people in Senegal asked for my call-up, I didn’t hear from him,” the 24-year old told L’Equipe.“It is a lack of courage,” he added.However, Giresse took to the same media to stress that “there is a lot of competition for attacking spots in our team. There are more experienced players like Demba Ba, Papiss Cissé, Moussa Sow. Diafra is new to the top level. He is having a good start at West Ham and I will continue to monitor him.”
