Turkish FA pushing West Ham whizkid Oscar Borg to turn back on England

The Turkish FA are making a push for West Ham United whizkid Oscar Borg.

Borg, who has just signed a two-year scholarship deal with the Hammers, qualifies for Turkey through his Nan, who was born in Istanbul.

tribalfootball.com can reveal the Turkish FA have been in recent contact with the Borg camp and are eager to cap the left-sided wing-back.

During talks, it was relayed to Borg that should he commit to Turkey, offers from the country's biggest clubs, Galatasaray, Fenerbahce and Besiktas were sure to follow.

Borg signed for the Hammers last week after spending preseason with Manchester United.
