Valencia leaving West Ham could give Bilic chance to land former player

 

Besiktas are considering signing West Ham United’s Enner Valencia, report AMKSpor.

The forward looks surplus to requirements at West Ham, and he could leave the Hammers this summer. The player spent last season on loan with Everton, and he doesn’t seem to be in the long term plans of Slaven Bilic.

Besiktas are looking at the possibility of signing Valencia, with the West Ham player emerging as a prime target for them. The Besiktas board are looking for a favour from their former manager Bilic, and the Turkish side’s president Fikret Orman believes the Croatian could be key in landing the Ecuador international.

The Turkish giant’s interest in Valencia could open up the possibility for West Ham to sign Besiktas midfielder Oguzhan Ozyakup.

Earlier this week we covered reports West Ham were looking to sign Ozyakup this summer, and that Bilic wanted to be reunited with the player, following their time together at Besiktas.

Ozyakup is stalling on extending his contract with Besikatas, with reports he could be interested in a move to West Ham. His club aren’t keen to sell in the next window, but with just 12 months left on his contract, and the prospect of signing Valencia, a deal is still a possibility.
