# West Ham to sign Gokhan Tore on season-long loan

West Ham are set to complete the signing of Gokhan Tore from Besiktas on an initial season-long loan move with a view to buy next summer, subject to a medical.

According to Ken Dyer of the [London Evening Standard](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/gokhan-tore-to-west-ham-hammers-set-to-complete-loan-signing-of-besiktas-winger-a3289241.html), West Ham are now growing increasingly confident in signing the 24-year-old winger after weeks of exhaustive negotiations with Besiktas.

Slaven Bilic is a huge fan of Gokhan Tore and has been working tirelessly with his former employers Besiktas to finalise a deal which would see the former Chelsea academy star return to the Premier League.

However, the Hammers were struggling to agree a fee for the Turk’s services and for a long time the deal looks dead and buried but the two sides have finally come to an agreement over a loan move for Tore.

Jack Sullivan, as well as the Boleyn Insider, confirmed that the Hammers expect to make a major signing by the end of this week and it appears that Gokhan Tore is the name on everybody’s lips.

Turkish source [Haber1903](https://haber1903.com/n-20541-gokhan-tore-west-ham-uniteda-kiralandi.html) have also confirmed the move. West Ham will pay a €3m season-long loan fee with a €12m option next summer.

Tore isn’t the only player West Ham are closing in on as their striker search looks to finally be drawing to a close. The Hammers are locked in talks with AC Milan regarding the signing of 29-year-old Carlos Bacca. The Colombian scored 20 goals in 42 games for Milan last season and could be had for £24m.
