Emmanuel Emenike Linked With Move To West Ham

Londoners West Ham are hoping to wrap up a deal for former Nigeria international Emmanuel Emenike before the end of this week, according to reports emanating from the British Press.

The Hammers manager Slaven Bilic is in the market for a frontman following the injuries to Diafra Sakho and Andy Carroll.

Emenike spent the first half of this season on loan at Al Ain but a return to Fenerbahce, his parent club, may not be feasible at the point given his lack of first - team opportunities.

It has been claimed that West Ham have entered discussions with the 28 - year - old’s entourage regarding a loan move until the end of this season.

The former Karabukspor and Spartak Moscow star has a valid agreement with Fenerbahce until May 31, 2018.
