The Turkish international has struggled to have an impact at West Ham.
West Ham’s Gokhan Tore
The agent of West Ham United loanee Gokhan Tore has been speaking to the press in his Turkish homeland this week regarding his early struggles at the London Stadium.
This summer West Ham raided manager Slaven Bilic’s former club Besiktas to bring in the Turkish international and former Chelsea youngster on a loan deal until the end of the season.
However, he has been poor for the club so far and not lived up to the expectations many a Hammers fan had of him.
His agent Ali Pektas has spoken to Fanatik this week about Tore’s start to life at West Ham.

Pektas stated:
“Gokhan is happy to be in London. He already played at Chelsea (youth-team) before so knows it well.
“He came to West Ham with great hopes. Slaven Bilic believes him to be quite good. He was in the starting Xi for the last match.
“(He has) a pretty good relationship with his teammates. We speak often. He says he will not give up. He will do his utmost to contribute to the team.
“Currently criticism is normal. One of the team’s new signing. West Ham fans should give him some time.“
It is certainly good to hear that Tore is committed to making his time at West Ham a success – especially after his early struggles with the team.

The winger has simply not looked up to the Premier League so far but may just need time to adjust.
Not many of West Ham’s summer recruits have started the new season well, with the likes of Sofiane Feghouli, Simone Zaza and Havard Nordtveit all having mixed starts to the campaign.
West Ham fans will hope that all changes soon.
