Report: Premier League trio want Burak Yilmaz

West Ham United are reportedly battling Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Stoke City for the signature of Galatasaray striker Burak Yilmaz.

Galatasaray are believed to be open to selling the Turkish international this month if they receive a bid in the region of £5m.

According to The Mirror, West Ham currently lead the race for the 30-year-old as they prepare to boost their forward line, but Spurs and Stoke are also closely monitoring proceedings.

Yilmaz has scored 81 times in 140 appearances for his current club, while the striker also has 19 goals in 42 appearances for his national side.

It is understood that West Ham would prefer to loan the forward this month, with the option to make the move permanent at the end of the current season.
