West Ham sell Diamanti to Brescia

West Ham have lost a net £4.2m on the sale of Diamanti

West Ham have sold Alessandro Diamanti to Brescia for 2.2m euros (£1.8m).

The 27-year-old forward had cost the Hammers £6m when they signed him 12 months ago from Livorno and scored eight goals, including four penalties.

But he played only 17 minutes of boss Avram Grant's first two games in charge, having featured on 29 occasions for the Upton Park club in 2009-2010.

A West Ham statement said the sale would "release space in the squad for another player to be brought in."

Brescia won the last promotion spot to Serie A after winning a play-off against Torino at the end of last season.

Should they do enough this season to remain in Italy's top flight for another term, another 300,000 euros (£245,000) will be payable to West Ham.

The Hammers added in their statement: "Diamanti faced stiff competition for a first-team place with the arrivals of Pable Barrera, Thomas Hitzlsperger and Frederic Piquionne."

The club concluded its release by revealing it "could unveil more exciting new faces before the transfer window shuts [on 31 August]."
