West Ham transfer news: 'Disaster' Gokhan Tore not wanted by Irons but parent club Besiktas refuse to take him back

GOKHAN TORE is at the centre of a bizarre tug of war - with neither West Ham nor Besiktas wanting the flop winger.

The Hammers are hoping to send on-loan Tore, 24, back to parent club Besiktas in the Turkish League and may even have to write off the £2.5 million loan fee for the season.

Tore is still recovering from a recent injury but his signing in the summer is viewed as a ‘disaster’ by senior figures at West Ham.

Talks are underway to try to arrange a mutually beneficial arrangement for Tore to head home to Turkey in the next few weeks and save West Ham some cash on his £40,000-a-week wages.

However the Hammers’ hopes have been hit hard by Besiktas chairman Fikret Orman who wants Tore to stay put.

He said: “We will definitely get one or two players in because of injuries but 100 per cent there is not a chance that Tore will come back to Besiktas.”
West Ham are still hopeful a deal can be struck to end Tore’s torrid time in East London early.

He has not played for boss Slaven Bilic since injuring his thigh last month.
