West Ham's deal for Emmanuel Emenike has stalled.

The London Evening Standard says they have hit complications over their bid to sign Emenike but are hopeful of completing a loan deal for the striker before the transfer window closes.

It is understood the Hammers have agreed terms with the Nigeria international but have yet to reach a conclusion with either his parent club, Fenerbahce, or the UAE club Al Ain, where he is on loan.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic is an admirer of the 28‑year-old and is keen to bring him in on loan with a view to a permanent transfer in the summer. Should the deal fall through, West Ham may turn to Galatasaray's 30-year-old front man Burak Yilmaz.
