Meanwhile, West Ham are not the only English club offered the chance to sign the player. Nottingham Forest contacted as well. It seems that the player is looking for a move this summer. His contract with the Turkish club ends in 2027, and he is eager for a new experience.

He can operate as a centre forward as well as a left-sided winger. West Ham need more depth in the final third, and the 25-year-old could be the ideal acquisition. He has the technical attributes and versatility to thrive in English football. A move to the Premier League could be ideal. Meanwhile, the Hammers were quite poor in the attack last season and signing the Turkish attacker could be a wise decision.
The reported asking price is certainly affordable for West Ham, but they might look to sign him for a more reasonable amount of money. It remains to be seen how the situation develops..
West Ham are likely to be an attractive destination for the player. He will look to prove himself in the Premier League with them. They could provide him with the platform to establish himself as a quality player, and they could be the ideal stepping stone for him in future. The player was linked with Newcastle a few months ago.
