Gokhan Tore is unlikely to be making any further appearances for the Hammers after reports emerged that his knee injury is far worse than at first thought.
HaberTurkSpor are reporting Besiktas are giving up on bringing Tore back because of the player’s injury problems this season.
Tore is currently out of the West Ham side because of a leg problem and some muscle issues.
However, HaberTurk report Tore’s problem is far worse than expected due to a problem with his knee cartilage.
It’s claimed West Ham doctors recently detected the problem and the issue is so serious it’s been known to be career ending for some footballers.
As a result Besiktas president Fikret Orman has apparently pulled out of a deal to bring Tore back to club, and is looking for other alternatives.
Wish him well in his recovery shame for him that things didn’t work out and he wasn’t able to show his Besiktas form for us. Even if we pay his wages like Jenkinson last season probably best he returns to his parent club.
You don’t like to hear of any player having their career threatened by injury – Tore’s time at West Ham has not been a happy one to put it mildly, so it’s probably best all round for him to move on.
Good luck to him anyway!
