West Ham United are expected to have competition for the signature of Serdar Aziz this summer, with Fanatik claiming that the London rivals are going toe-to-toe for his hand this summer.

The 25-year-old centre-half currently plays for Bursaspor and has been capped nine times by Turkey.

Aziz is being tipped to move away from his current employers this summer and to embark on a  new professional challenge.

Slaven Bilic knows the defender well from his time managing in Turkey with Besiktas and is said to be a suitor of the enforcer.

However, Bursaspor club president Ali Ay has revealed that there are two offers on the table for Aziz, but West Ham are yet to show their hand.

“We have two serious offers one from Fulham and the other from Besiktas, we are considering both bids,” he said.

West Ham have prioritised signing a new centre forward, with a revamped attack on the cards for next season.

However, an extra centre-half in Bilic’s squad would be a welcome addition ahead of 2016-17, which would allow him to play three at the back more regularly if desired.
