Besiktas midfielder Veli Kavlak says that he is not interested in a move to West Ham.

“Currently I am not interested in a move to West Ham United,” Kavlak was quoted as saying by the daily Turkish newspaper Radikal.

“I recently signed a four year contract extension with Besiktas.”

“He [Bilic] was like a father for me. He always supported me and gave me freedom to express myself.”

“I was very lucky to work under a manager like him. He still follows our games closely.”

Kavlak played under Bilic during his two-year spell at Besiktas. The midfielder was born in Austria but is also a Turkish citizen through his parents. The 25-year-old joined Beşiktaş for £600,000 from Rapid Vienna in 2011 and has eight goals and 14 assists in 144 appearances for the Black Eagles.

    That’s lucky because he would have to sit and watch Payet and Lanzini,
    Torre is the player we want from them no one else
