West Ham United’s search for attacking reinforcements has hit complications in the January transfer window.
The Hammers, currently sitting **sixth in the Premier League**, had made **Burak Yilmaz** their primary target, but **Galatasaray** rejected their approach for a loan move, making it clear the Turkish international would only leave on a permanent deal.
Attention then turned to **Emmanuel Emenike**, who is on the books at **Fenerbahçe** but currently playing on loan at **Al-Ain** in the UAE. The complexity of negotiating with two clubs has made a deal difficult to finalise, though West Ham remain keen to bring the Nigerian striker to London before the transfer window closes.
Manager **Slaven Bilić** is eager to add depth to his attacking options, with the club hoping to secure a strong finish in their push for European qualification.
