The 26-year-old is linked with Newcastle United, but West Ham United should show an interest in the hitman.
According to The Daily Mail, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace have asked about Besiktas hitman Cenk Tosun.
The Turkey international scored 24 times for the Superlig outfit last season and he seems to have attracted interest from the Premier League duo.
But should West Ham United boss Slaven Bilic throw his hat into the ring?
Tosun was brought to Besiktas by Bilic in 2014 and the West Ham manager was linked with a reunion back in March which hasn’t materialised.
However, the Irons could certainly do with a bit of extra firepower up front amid speculation from The Sun that Diafra Sakho is set for a deadline-day move to France.
Javier Hernandez, a £16 million summer signing from Bayer Leverkusen, is class but Andy Carroll and Andre Ayew aren’t good enough plan-b options, as proven.
West Ham need a capable goalscorer as cover for the Mexico international, and if Bilic already knows Tosun then why not bring him to East London?
Turning down Newcastle might be tough if the Magpies are interested, but the Croat’s presence at the Hammers gives them an advantage.
