WORST NIGHTMARE EVER;Baris Alper Yilmaz West ham target has rejected ever signing deal with club

West Ham could seal a deal for Galatasaray star Baris Alper Yilmaz to start their summer business.

Graham Potter is in desperate need of attacking reinforcements in the transfer window after an underwhelming start to his reign in East London.

The Hammers have won just four of his first 17 matches in charge and have lacked firepower with the likes of Niclas Fullkrug and Mohammed Kudus failing to impress.

Crysencio Summerville and Luis Guilherme also have not had the required impact since their summer moves, with injuries playing their part at the London Stadium.

West Ham can seal Yilmaz deal amid exit revelation

Alper Yilmaz is a player who has been on the London Stadium radar for several years, and they might be able to strike a deal this time.

Turkish journalist Sezgin Gelmez has claimed, via GS Gazete (20 May), that the Hammers are considering a deal for the 24-year-old.

Yilmaz would be a great addition for West Ham

The young attacker can play on both flanks, although he is primarily a left winger and would be a great asset for Potter.

The Irons reportedly tried to sign the 26-cap international in the winter window but a deal did not materialise and it could be revived amid their recent attacking woes.

Stats (All competitions)	Yilmaz
Matches	48
Goals	14
Assists	6
Minutes played	3,833

The Hammers have scored 43 goals in the Premier League, which is the sixth-worst record, with only the three relegated teams, Manchester United and Everton, having worse records in front of goal.

Yilmaz has notched 14 goals and six assists in 48 appearances in all competitions for the Turkish outfit this season and would add a different dimension to the attack.

Those numbers would likely increase if he was playing with the likes of Jarrod Bowen and Lucas Paqueta regularly in the English top-flight.
