The 27-year-old collided his top-range sports car estimated at £200,000 into another car before spinning-off and hitting the wall of a luxury home a junction in Emerson Park.

Both drivers were unhurt but the house’s brick wall was demolished.

Mr Sakho posted a picture of himself that night on social media and said: “Sorry for the scare guys, I’m ok, thank God #life”.

He later tweeted: “Thank you for the messages. Was involved in a small car accident this evening. Thankfully no one was hurt.”

“This was a damage only collision, police attendance was not required. There were no injuries and no arrests.”

West Ham spokesman said: “This is a private matter and it is his own insurance and vehicle.”

He added the club will not make any further comment.
