Report: West Ham prepare bid for Turkish winger
The Hammers have been closely linked with Tore all season and head coach Slaven Bilic has previously confirmed that the Turkish international is one of his transfer targets.
Speaking to Turkish sports newspaper Fanatik in a recent interview Bilic said: “Everyone knows how much I like Tore he is an excellent player and I want him at West Ham.”
The former Besiktas manager also said that West Ham were not in direct talks which raised the question of whether negotiations are being being carried out through intermediaries. “We are not in direct talks with Tore,” he added.
Tore has six goals and nine assists in all competitions for the Istanbul giants this season and played an important role in Besiktas winning the league title. The 23-year-old winger also earned himself a call-up to the Turkish national side ahead of the Euros.
