West Ham target Gabriel Torje is expected to depart from Udinese once again this summer, according to Romanian source Ziarul Financiar.
Torje spent the past season on loan at Super Lig side Osmanlispor, though his performances failed to convince Udinese boss Luigi De Canio to keep him. He scored just three times and assisted six in 25 appearances for the Turkish side.
West Ham are reportedly interested in the 26-year-old, who would be nothing more than backup to Dimitri Payet and Sofiane Feghouli, and will have scouts watching him at the European Championships.
Greek source Pamesports claim Torje has been offered to AEK Athens – where former Newcastle player Temur Ketsbaia manages – and the Superleague side have confirmed their interest in a loan move, though it is unlikely anything will be finalised until after the Euros.
Torje only managed eight minutes in Romania’s opening fixture against France, though his performance obviously impressed Anghel Iordănescu as he was rewarded with a start against Switzerland.
