Ajeti on wanted list

|

West Ham United striker Albian Ajeti is is being reported as being a target for Turkish club Besiktas according to reports.

Aksam in Turkey, among many other sources, is reporting that the Swiss striker is on the club’s shortlist of transfer options for the winter.

And they would certain get a hearing if they come up with an offer of around £10 million for the Swiss international who has underwhelmed most inside the club since his arrival .

The Hammers are keen to raise cash in the window to bring in new players of their own and though there is a mixed view of his potential the club would certainly listen.

At the end of the day, however, it is Pellegrini and Husillos’ decision which will probably carry most wait despite the board taking a much closer look at comings and goings after what is largely seen as a very poor summer window.

To be fair it seems surprising, given Ajeti’s level of performance thus far, that there is interest in the Super Lig outfit   and if they follow through on the reports the Hammers would be bound to listen.

Besiktas currently sit eighth in the Turkish Super Lig. They are also bottom of their Europa League group, having lost all four of their games so far and need a striker to sort out their issues in front of goal.

    It’s reached ridiculously embarrassing levels now . West Ham are becoming a laughing stock and they are doing nothing to abate it . Spurs are at least trying to halt Thier downward trend and are showing they want to survive . We are doing nothing and putting our trust in a has been . We are again missing the train and stuck waiting on the platform expecting the next train to get us there on time . A bad game at home to the Spurs would be catastrophic for West Ham and should warrant the exit of Pelligrini . Pochettino has a lot to prove and maybe it would be prudent for the Hammers to invite him onboard . Even Benitez , given the devide it would cause on the fan base is worth a shot .
    For those fans who so dedicatedly worked to oust Bilic , Alladyce & Moyes I can only say this ; I FEEL THE SAME WAY about Pelligrini . He has to go . This season is completely lost and any dreams of Europe have melted away . Our only salvation would be to maintain our premiership status . Be it Benitez or Pochettino or other , we need a new train driver .

    Ajeti & Fornals under a different manager & system would probably flourish . Too many good players come to West Ham only to be destroyed by a blind manager . We need a manager with vision instead of blinkers . Moyes May have gotten us there , but now of course we will never know . Pelligrini won’t get us there , and that’s a given .

      Kevin just come out and really say what you mean?
      No seriously mate i am with you on this one.
      I backed pelligrini from the start thinking he was the real deal but since this bad run of matches i now see him in a different light.His defiance in keeping haller as the lone striker,playing zabaleta instead of fredericks against the newcastle winger Saint-Maxmin and his baffling substitutions.Why did he bring back balbuena when ogbonna was playing well and what has happened to arthur.?
      I may be wrong and it’s pelligrinis character but he just doesn’t look up for the fight.
      Oh and i forgot to mention roberto!
