Besiktas president Fikret Orman has rubbished talk of Gokhan Tore joining West Ham this summer, admitting he could sell Tore for an improved price in twelve months time.
As quoted by Turkish source Turkiye Gazetesi, Orman said: “Gokhan Tore I’m not willing to sell. I want him to play in the Champions League.”
Gokhan is a good player but I can sell for a better price in a year. You have to get good money, then we review it.
Orman’s motives appear to be completely money orientated and, if West Ham are serious about signing Tore, an improved bid appears to be all it would take to prize him away from the Turkish outfit.
However with the recent signing of Sofiane Feghouli West Ham are not in desperate need for an attacking midfielder, therefore, it is understood that the club will not overpay if Besiktas demand too much.
The 24-year-old has already agreed personal terms with the Hammers, according to reports, and it is now only up to the two clubs to decide on a fee. It looks like Tore is keen to be reunited with Slaven Bilic his old boss.
