Hammer linked with a move to Turkey

Reports from Senegal suggest that offers could come in for Hammer Cheikhou Kouyate this summer from Turkey.

Galsenfoot.com suggests that both Galatasaray and Beşiktaş could be interested in the 28 year old midfielder and are monitoring his situation under new manager Manuel Pellegrini.

Kouyate joined West Ham from Anderlecht for £7m in the Summer of 2014 on a four year contract.

In 2016 the West Ham midfielder signed a new long-term contract keeping him contracted until the Summer of 2021.

Signed by Sam Allardyce he has largely kept his first team place under both Slaven Bilic and David Moyes despite a drop in form.  Despite being a standout performer for long stints of the 2016/17 campaign, Kouyate’s level of output has dropped significantly over the course of the last season, leaving a number of fans vexed by David Moyes’ persistent use of the midfielder.

Kouyate made 38 appearances in all competitions last season comprising of 34 league and 4 cup games scoring two goals.
