Yusuf Yazici, a free agent after leaving Lille, has attracted interest from several European clubs, including West Ham and Tottenham according to HITC.

The 27-year-old attacking midfielder has impressed in recent seasons, particularly during his loan spell at Trabzonspor. His ability to create chances and score goals has made him a desirable target for several clubs.

Galatasaray is reportedly leading the race to sign Yazici, but West Ham and Tottenham are also monitoring his situation. Other Premier League clubs like Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Wolves, Southampton, and Fulham have also expressed interest.

Yazici’s addition could bolster West Ham’s attacking options, especially after the departure of James Ward-Prowse on loan to Nottingham Forest. His creativity and ability to provide assists would be a valuable asset for the Hammers.

While there is no immediate need to sign a free agent outside of the transfer window, Yazici’s availability could present an opportunity for West Ham and other interested clubs.

However, they will need to act quickly to secure his signature, as there is likely to be competition for his services.

Yazici has experience playing in Europe having previously played for Lille and in Russia. He also has three goals in 45 international caps for the Turkish national team.
