Per the source, Yilmaz has been learning English as he wants to make settling in as swift as possible.

The report claims that the Hammers want Yilmaz but Galatasaray prefer to keep him on unless they receive an offer too good to refuse.

The 24-year-old Turkish international has emerged as a potential target for the Hammers, with the Lions wanting at least €30m for their star man.

Galatasaray would be prepared to sell Yilmaz for the valuation set.

Manager Julen Lopetegui is keen to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season, with a striker and central midfielder seen as priorities.

However, adding another winger, particularly a right-footed player capable of operating on the left, could also be beneficial. Yilmaz fits this profile.

Recent reports suggest that West Ham’s interest in Yilmaz is intensifying, with the club eager to secure his signature.

Yilmaz played a crucial role in Galatasaray’s successful campaign last season, showcasing his attacking flair and versatility.

With Yilmaz’s talent evident, it is likely that West Ham will face competition from other clubs for his signature.
