Tottenham Hotspur are looking into the possibility of hijacking West Ham’s move for Galatasaray striker Burak Yilmaz, according to reports.

Yilmaz, who is thought to be attracting a host of Premier League goals after establishing himself as a prolific goalscorer in the Turkish Super Lig, is high up the list of West Ham transfer targets.

Galatasaray want to sell the 30-year-old in a permanent deal this month worth £5million, but would sanction a loan deal with a view to a permanent solution in the summer, Sky Sports reported.

However, given his impressive record in front of goal, West Ham boss Slaven Bilic could face competition for Yilmaz’s signature as both Tottenham and Stoke City have declared an interest, according to the Mirror.
