Fenerbahce captain Hasan Ali Kaldirim eyed by West Ham

Fenerbahce captain Hasan Ali Kaldirim has emerged as a summer transfer target for West Ham United, according to a report by BBC Sport.

The 29-year-old defender has been at the Turkish club for seven years, playing 226 games in that time, and has won the Super Lig, Turkish Cup and Turkish Super Cup. 

He is also a German-born Turkey international, who has represented the national team on 30 occasions.

Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini is said to be keen on taking the player to the London Stadium, and the report states that the club have already been in contact with his agent regarding the potential transfer, of which the player is open to.

West Ham would be able to sign Kaldirim for just £4.42 million because of the release clause in his Fenerbahce contract, which is set to expire next year.

The speculation surrounding the left-back could spell the end of Aaron Cresswell’s career with the London club after he was linked with a move to Everton last week.
