Tore is relishing the chance to play in front of the West Ham fans



West Ham United are delighted to announce that Gokhan Tore has joined the Club on a season-long loan for a fee of £2.5million with the option to buy for a further £10million.



Tore, 24, has been one of the star performers at Besiktas and played a big part in helping them finish above Fenerbahce to win the Super Lig title.



He is no stranger to playing in England having been brought through the youth ranks at Chelsea.



Slaven Bilic knows all about the talented winger having managed him during his spell in charge of Besiktas and knows the qualities he will bring to the first-team squad next season.



Tore will add width, pace and trickery and is relishing the chance to showcase his talents in the Premier League.



Tore said: "I am very happy to be at West Ham. I watched many games that they played last season and saw how passionate the fans are. That made me want to come here and I am looking forward to playing in front of them.



"Slaven was also a big factor in me coming here and he is a great manager. He is the main man and knows me very well. I could not have said no to him.



"He is the best manager I have worked under and he is like a father to the players. You feel like you are family."
