West Ham are poised to complete an initial loan deal with Besiktas for creative midfielder Gokhan Tore, according to The London Evening Standard.
Slaven Bilic failed in his attempts to reunite with Tore at Upton Park in January but is now on the verge of securing his man before the Hammers move into their new home at the Olympic Park.
Tore, 24, who was omitted from Turkey’s Euro 2016 squad due to a two-match suspension, previously had two years in Chelsea’s academy before making the move to Hamburg in 2011.
Only Kerim Frei (36 mins) requires fewer minutes per successful dribble than Tore for Besiktas in the last two Super Lig campaigns (41.9 mins).
