Turkish giants move to hijack West Ham & Tottenham efforts to sign striker
Besiktas have joined the race for Bayer Leverkusen striker Chicharito according to reports from Turkey.
Fanatik claim that the Black Eagles are keen on signing the Mexican international.
Per the source, the reigning Turkish champions want Chicharito as a replacement for Vincent Aboubakar.
The Cameroon international striker is set to return to Porto following the end of his loan.
Demba Ba will also return from his Besiktas loan to China.
The Eagles are lacking options upfront and want to invest in a proven, experienced striker with Champions League experience.
The Istanbul giants are expected to face competition from the Premier League.
BILD report that West Ham and Tottenham have shown a great interest in the 29-year-old.
Chicharito does have another two-years left on his contract but has a £13 million release clause.
The Hammers have entered talks with the striker according to Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol.

Chicharito has years of Premier League experience under his belt having directly been involved in 79 goals during his time at Manchester United – 59 goals, 20 assists.
The striker enjoyed one of his most successful spells at the Red Devils, winning two Premier League titles between 2010-15.
The striker’s Premier League scoring record makes him an attractive prospect for West Ham and Spurs but also Besiktas who want a forward with a proven track record at the highest level.
Didn’t you read he wants return to premier not Turkish league and most players will want out now from Turkey anyway. Please print things that are most probably going to happen not things that will never happen just to print more rubbish online.
Only a West Ham fan would be daft enough to think the Hammers have more pulling power than a side that just won the Turkish league and will play Champions League football…
Only a Millwall fan would think that turkey is a better place to play top football than the premier league. Oh forgot you wouldn’t know anything about the premier league only defeat and relegation issues over the years jog on son.
If he has anything left to prove and wants to test himself why on earth would he want to play in the Turkish league.Once Besiktas are knocked out in the group stages he has a plethora of mundane matches to look forward to or he can play in the best league in the world.
If previous behavior is anything to go by, he’ll end up in a CL club in the EPL, Spain, France, Germany or Italy.
