English Premier League side, West Ham United will conclude the signing of Nigerian striker Emmanuel Emenike this week,it was gathered.
According to reports, the 28-year-old forward is now expected to undergo a medical after West Ham and Fenerbahce agreed to a deal that will see Emenike join the London club on loan for the rest of the season.
Emenike has already agreed to personal terms with the English club and will officially become West Ham’s second signing of the January transfer window once he passes his medical and is unveiled.
West Ham manager, Slaven Bilic, has also shed light on the move for a striker in the current transfer window.
He revealed that West Ham are in the transfer market ‘to strengthen our squad’ following injuries that have sidelined a few key players in the course of their campaign this season.
“We are still in the market for a striker. We are looking to strengthen our squad. If we can loan one, we will do,” Bilic said in a press conference yesterday ahead of their FA Cup clash with Liverpool this weekend.
Emenike had to cut short his season-long loan move to UAE club, Al Ain, return to his parent club, Fenerbahce, to pave way for the deal to West Ham.
