West Ham United have signed Gokhan Tore on a season-long loan deal from Besiktas.
West Ham United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the signing of Gokhan Tore.
The Hammers have signed Tore from Turkish giants Besiktas on a season-long loan deal.
According to The Guardian, the London outfit had to pay Besiktas a loan fee of £2.5 million to secure the services of the 24-year-old winger for the 2016-17 campaign.
It has also been reported that for West Ham to make the deal permanent next summer, they would have to pay the Turkish club a further £10m.
Tore has arrived at West Ham with a strong reputation and will be expected to hit the ground running.
The Turkey international winger worked with Hammers’ manager Slaven Bilic at Besiktas.
It is not always easy for players coming from the Turkish Super Lig to adapt to the Premier League, but Tore does have experience of English football.
The former Hamburg and Rubin Kazan winger was on the books of Chelsea from 2009 to 2011 and featured for the London club’s Under-21 side.
