West Ham United are close to confirming the signing of Gokhan Tore according to Milliyet, with Slaven Bilic also interested in the star’s Besiktas team-mates Atiba Hutchinson and Oguzhan Ozyakup.
The Croatian manager knows the Turkish club well from his time in charge and has been consistently linked with a host of the side’s top performers.
Tore is widely regarded as Besiktas’ shining light and will play an important role for his country at this summer’s Euro 2016 tournament.
His £12 million capture is close to being completed according to the report, which would boost the Hammers’ options in the final third ahead of the 2016-17 campaign.
However, the Hammers could well also swoop for two more of Besiktas’ star players.
Ozyakup has been likened to Mesut Ozil for his style of play, with the star possessing creativity and an excellent range of passing.
The versatile Hutchinson could well fill a number of roles in midfield or as cover at right-back.
