West Ham join race for Turkish midfielder Okay Yokuslu

Turkish midfielder Okay Yokuslu of Celta Vigo has enjoyed a good season in La Liga and has attracted the interest of West Ham United.

West Ham are looking to add some backbone into their team to help sure up the midfield next season and the Turk could turn out to be a perfect partner for veteran Mark Noble next season.

The Hammers interest in the 25-year-old has been confirmed by Turkish-football, as cited on Sportlens, and the club are preparing to battle Champions League finalists Tottenham Hotspur for the midfielder’s services.

The Turkish international has played an important role in Celta Vigo’s survival this season as they narrowly avoided relegation from the Spanish first division.

However, with both English clubs battling for the midfielder, European football may be the deciding factor if the player decides to leave the club.

It was reported a few weeks ago that West Ham are set to release up to nine players over the summer, and identifying Yokuslu as a possible incoming could be just one of many incomings at the London Stadium.
