Hammers eye new striker target

AUT vs. TUR 2016-03-29 (267).jpg

West Ham are this morning being reported as holding an interest in Turkish striker Cenk Tosun – along with Spurs.

The 25-year-old was seen last Friday scoring twice in the international team’s 2-0 win over Finland and whilst Spurs have watched him regularly throughout the season, the Hammers are understood to be on the case.

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic knows the player  having worked with him whilst serving as manager of Besiktas where Tosun currently plays.

The striker is set to cost in the region of £17 million and will not require a work permit to play in England as he has EU citizenship.

It is likely that Tosun will leave Turkey. He will be looking to challenge himself by playing for a team in a more competitive League.

    When they said he was scouted for a move to Tottenham they probably mean’t to work in a kebab shop in Green Lanes.

    I’ve just You Tubed Everybo and he’s minging. His legs have gone, he has China ankles and he doesn’t track back. At £20M he is over priced. Let’s buy him!
