Galatasaray striker Burak Yilmaz wants to move to West Ham United.

The Hammers have had a bid for the Turkey international turned down by Gala this week.

However, Fanatik says Gala president, Dursun Aydın Özbek, held a meeting with Yilmaz yesterday for over two hours to discuss the player's future.

Yilmaz made it clear he wanted to move to England, telling Ozbek: "I am extremely proud to be part of Galatasaray, but I do not want to miss this chance to play in the Premier League."

Approaching the age of 30, Yilmaz conceded to Ozbek he feared this would be his last opportunity to land a Premier League move

Ozbek made it clear to Yilmaz how much he valued him, but assured the striker they would listen seriously to West Ham if they came back with an improvement on their initial €5 million offer.
