West Ham United are showing significant interest in Galatasaray's Burak Yilmaz according to reports.

Sky Sports suggests the Hammers are keen on the 30-year-old striker and could land him initially on loan this month with the view to buy in the summer.

Turkey international Yilmaz could be available for around £5million according to the report as the Hammers continue their search for a new striker.

The East London club have been heavily linked with Fenerbahce's Al Ain loanee Emmanuel Emenike but remain on the hunt for other attacking players just in case that loan deal falls through.

Yilmaz joined Galatasaray from Trabzonspor in 2012 and this season has nine goals in 15 league games for the Istanbul giants.
