On May 10th, Takvim reported West Ham United have held talks with Wilfried Zaha’s agent.
A week later, Fotomaç stated the forward has been in talks with the Hammers for a while. It was also reported he’s expected to leave Galatasaray in the summer window.
Fotospor now state West Ham have ‘officially requested information’ about signing the 31-year-old.
He’s managed 10 goals and five assists from 42 games this season, but the report says his performances weren’t up to the mark for Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk. Therefore, the player could be allowed to leave in the next window.
West Ham are keen on bringing the former Eagles star back to London and they want to listen to the Turkish champions’ demands for him.
It’s explained that if Galatasaray were to respond ‘within 3 days’, then Julen Lopetegui’s side will table their offer ‘without delay’.
Zaha wants to return to England and his club are aiming to collect €12m from his sale. If he ends up staying in Turkey, it would be a ‘serious financial burden’ for them
Galatasaray’s aim is to collect as much as possible and they’re looking to part ways with him as soon as possible, holding the belief the €12m fee is affordable for West Ham.
