Fenerbahce reportedly offered 27-year-old: Why Newcastle must sign West Ham outcast – view
Proven Premier League striker
Since his move to West Ham back in the summer of 2014, Sakho has starred in claret and blue until this season where he suffered multiple injuries that saw him appear just four times.
Making a total of 48 top-flight appearances for the Hammers, Sakho has a ratio of one goal every three games with 16 goals in the Premier League.
If he can replicate that in the black and white of Newcastle, then Benitez would have no trouble in keeping the Toon afloat next season.
