Report: West Ham United eye Galatasaray striker Buruk Yilmaz

West Ham United are reportedly preparing a €10m (£7.1m) move for Galatasaray forward Buruk Yilmaz.

Slaven Bilic's side are believed to be in the market for a forward after Ecuadorian star Enner Valencia was ruled out for around three months with knee and ankle ligament injuries.

Fanatik claims that the Hammers are willing to bid for the Turkish international, but the player's agent has confirmed that talks will not take place before Galatasaray's game against Sivasspor on Saturday.

Furthermore, the Premier League club are thought to be offering Yilmaz wages of around €4m (£2.8m) a season to move to London, according to Futbol Arena.

West Ham have also been linked with a move for Besiktas midfielder Atiba Hutchinson.
