Overseas on loan striker revealed

|

EmenikeEmmanuel Emenike has been revealed as the mysterious ‘overseas’ striker West Ham hope to sign on loan within the next seven days .

Andre-Pierre Gignac was speculated as the likely target but according to EXWHUEmployee’s website www.thewethamway, the Nigerian is the player involved.

The site says: “His agent met with David Sullivan this week to iron out the terms of a loan move with an option to buy at the end of the season. The club hope to complete the deal by Friday if all goes to plan. ”  

Sullivan, however, has explained that the deal may not happen and that it will depend largely on the club’s injury situation.

The Sun have run a similar story claiming that the Nigerian has been in London this week in order to negotiate a deal. The 28-year-old joined Al Ain FC on a season-long loan deal in the summer of 2015, but it has been cut short.

Slaven Bilic knows Emenike from his time in Turkey as Besiktas manager. Fenerbahce are said to want at least £7million for their striker on a permanent deal and will give West Ham to buy at the end of the season.

Last March Emenike stormed off the pitch after the striker was the victim of alleged abuse from his own fans in Turkey.

Soon after blowing a one on one chance, Emenike was booed by his own fans, with allegations that some of the abuse was also racist. The striker angrily removed his shirt and marched towards the sidelines during the match against rivals Besiktas who was then managed by Slaven Bilic.

    Jelly will want to go there is no love from the fans and he does not cover either of our CF adequately,I wish him the best if this all goes through,
    Zarate wants games and only covers Payet and Lanzini, I am glad he has proved the doubters wrong but he has not got the energy for English football,
    Know Leda if this lad can make it but he could be another Sakho or a Magia but at least Slav will have all this season to find out,
    With the right back coming in and the CF situation resolved it will be good transfer business by the 2 Daves again,
