West Ham eye move for Galatasaray star Baris Alper Yilmaz | OneFootball

West Ham United are reportedly eyeing a swoop for Turkish forward Baris Alper Yilmaz, according to Ilkhaber-Gazetesi.

The Galatasaray star has caught the eye of the Hammers following his impressive performances at the 2024 European Championship.

Yilmaz is on holiday in London and is keen on moving to England. He is combining his vacation with English language lessons and physical training.

The 24-year-old has been working with a personal trainer and is in peak condition as he waits for a summer transfer.

West Ham will reportedly face stiff competition for Yilmaz’s signature from Aston Villa and Napoli.

Galatasaray have slapped a price tag of over £25 million on Yilmaz. The Hammers will need to dig deep to secure the services of the talented forward.

West Ham have moved swiftly in the transfer market, signing Wes Foderingham, Luis Guilherme and Max Kilman to bolster Julen Lopetegui’s squad ahead of next season.

The Hammers are also in talks to sign Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice, Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran and Noussair Mazraoui from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
