West Ham closes in on Emenike deal

West Ham appears close to securing striker Emmanuel Emenike on loan from Turkish side Fenerbahce.

Fenerbahce chairman Aziz Yildirim has confirmed striker Emmanuel Emenike is close to joining West Ham after a loan fee was agreed.

The former Nigeria international is on loan at Al Ain from the 19-time Super Lig champions, although West Ham boss Slaven Bilic said this week that negotiations were ongoing to bring the forward to Upton Park.

Former Besiktas coach Bilic described talks for the striker as a "complicated situation." But following a club meeting, Yildirim said the deal was all but done.
