Gokhan Tore has reportedly picked up an injury that will keep him out for up to five weeks.
West Ham’s Gokhan Tore
According to The Sun, West Ham United summer signing Gokhan Tore has suffered a quads muscle injury, and will be out for up to five weeks.
Tore, 24, joined West Ham on a season-long loan deal in the summer, leaving Besiktas to reunite with his former manager Slaven Bilic.

Tore was a favourite of Bilic during their time together at Besikas, as the Turkish winger hit 13 goals and 19 assists in his two seasons under current Hammers boss Bilic.
There was understandable excitement then, when Tore joined West Ham on a season-long loan deal back in July, with the option to make the deal permanent next summer.

However, a permanent move couldn’t seen any further away right now. Tore has played just 241 minutes of Premier League action so far, and was hauled off at half time of the 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough earlier this month.
West Ham fans were far from impressed with Tore’s performance, urging the club to send Tore back to Besiktas already – and the winger has now received another hammer blow.

The Sun report that Tore has a quads muscle problem and will now be ruled out for up to five weeks as his East London nightmare continues.
Barring a miraculous turnaround, it seems unlikely that Tore will do enough to win a permanent move to the London Stadium – no matter how impressive he was during his first spell under Bilic at Besiktas.
