West Ham are hoping to cancel Gokhan Tore’s season-long loan deal from Besiktas in January to free up space in the squad – but that now looks increasingly more unlikely.
After making eight dismal appearances for the Hammers between August and October, Tore hasn’t featured for the club since his 45 minute cameo against Middlesbrough on October 1st.
This is largely down to a thigh injury suffered in training which has kept him out of every matchday squad since that game.
Tore was expected to be back fit within the next six weeks and ready to be sent packing back to Turkey, but a knee injury appears to have derailed that.
According to HaberTurkSpor, the former Chelsea winger is dealing with some serious cartilage damage in his knee which could be career-threatening if the situation deteriorates.
This has forced Besiktas to put any move to bring Tore back in January on hold until they determine the extent of his injury.
It would appear West Ham could be stuck with Tore until the end of the season.
