West Ham have shown an interest in signing Besiktas winger Jose Sosa this summer, but face competition from La Liga side Valencia.
According to Turkish source Ajansspor, there is also interest from China in Sosa, but the Argentine’s most likely destination is in Europe.
Besiktas have informed all interested parties that they are looking for €5m to part ways with the winger who scored seven goals and contributed 12 assists as Besiktas cruised to another Super Lig crown.
The 30-year-old however has been allowed to seek a transfer from the Turkish champions should he wish, with the low asking price and impressive production catching the eye of several clubs.
The former Atletico Madrid man has found a home in Turkey after several nomadic years with Metalist Kharkiv, Napoli and Bayern Munich previously. He worked with Slaven Bilic two years ago at Besiktas and is said to be interested in a reunion.
Sosa’s team-mate, Gokhan Tore, is also believed to be interested in a move to West Ham to again work with Bilic. The Turk has said today that he wants to play for West Ham as he’s completed his journey with Besiktas. A £13m deal has been discussed this summer.
