​Bilic still hopeful West Ham can clinch Emenike loan

West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is confident a loan deal for striker Emmanuel Emenike will be agreed in the next couple of days.

Emenike is currently on loan from Fenerbahce, however, and the deal is being held up due to negotiations with the Turkish club.

"We are still waiting for that, it's a complicated situation," said Bilic.

"Al Ain called me and basically we thought we could do a straight swap with them, but now we are talking to Fenerbahce, and we will see what happens.

"At the beginning it looked easy, between two clubs, but then when we had to deal with Fenerbahce, who are a third party.

"So at one moment it didn't look good, but in last couple of days the deal is looks pretty much alive."
