The Turkey international is currently in rehab recovering from a knee injury he suffered last year.

“The treatment and recovery program is very busy for me. I go home afterwards when special physical treatment continues,” Tore told the Turkish outlet Fanatik.

“Then I go to the movies and read books. Besiktas supporters make feel you are a very special player. I hope to return stronger for them.

“I am in my own country, I speak Turkish. To speak English in the UK I needed an interpreter. I feel more comfortable here. I cannot wait to return (to Besiktas) I believe everything will be beautiful after the recovery of my heath first.”

There was talk of Tore having his loan period with West Ham terminated over the winter transfer window due to his injury however, he ended up staying at the East London based club.

Besiktas are happy for Tore to stay on loan at West Ham – who will cover his wages – while he recovers from his injury. West Ham do have the option to sign Tore on a permanent deal at the end of the season.

The Black Eagles are currently flying high in the Turkish League and will face Olimpiakos next in the Europa League on Thursday.

Tore’s place in Besiktas’ squad is not guaranteed even if he does return to the Istanbul based club as Ricardo Quaresma and Ryan Babel have been in impressive form.
