West Ham complete January deal for star striker

WEST HAM have agreed a deal with Fenerbahce to sign Emmanuel Emenike on loan, according to reports.

 

Emmanuel Emenike will go on loan to West Ham for six months

 

Emenike is currently in the middle of a temporary stint at United Arab Emirates team Al Ain.

However, the Middle Eastern club are understood to be prepared to release him from his contract early, despite him netting seven times in 11 games.

 

And according to Sky Sports the former Nigeria international will move to Upton Park on a six-month deal, with the option to make the move permanent.

When asked about the deal last week, Slaven Bilic said: "We are linked with a few strikers - he's the one. We're going to see what happens now."

 

And the Hammers are in need of reinforcements up front following the departure of Mauro Zarate to Fiorentina on loan and Andy Carroll's persistent injury problems.

Former Hull and Everton striker Nikica Jelavic is also reportedly considering leaving the club.
