Garry Rodrigues

West Ham United have received a major boost in the race to sign Galatasaray winger Garry Rodrigues.

A source close to the Istanbul giants has revealed the Turkish-Football.com that they are prepared to sell the Cape Verde international this summer.

Per the source, Galatasaray are lining up a replacement for the in-form winger and have set their signs on the Anderlecht midfielder Mahmoud Hassan (commonly known as Trezeguet).

West Ham recently had a £10 million bid for Rodrigues rejected last week. The Istanbul giants are holding out for an offer in the region of £15 million.
