West Ham are pursuing Besiktas midfielder Gary Medel as Manuel Pellegrini looks to reinforce his options in the midfield engine room.
The Hammers had Medel on their radar back in January and reportedly had an offer of around £6.5m rejected by the Turkish club.
Turkish media outlet Fanatik believe Besiktas are awaiting a second bid from the Premier League side and would welcome a deal due to their financial troubles, meaning offloading Medel could raise much needed funds.
The 31-year-old has huge experience of football at the top level and has 119 caps for Chile, with compatriot Pellegrini looking to avoid his midfield woes of last season in the upcoming campaign.
