West Ham United join race for Turkish Goal King Burak Yilmaz
West Ham are the latest club to be linked with making a move for highly sought-after Trabzonspor striker Burak Yilmaz.
The Hammers are reported to have opened talks with the strikers agent Ali Egesel however, rumors that Yilmaz will arrive in London for a medical have not been confirmed.
Lazio were leading the race to sign Yilmaz until negotiations broke down following the Seria A side's reluctance to pay his €5 million release clause upfront.
The East London club also face competition from Fulham and Tottenham. Trabzonspor president Sadri Şener told reporters, "Tottenham and Fulham are also interested in Burak Yilmaz, we shall see what happens" he said.
West Ham were promoted to the Premiership last season and have been active in the transfer market investing in strengthening the squad for the league campaign.
Yilmaz has been in prolific form for Trabzonspor over the past two seasons. He guided the Black Sea club to pole position in the league last year scoring 19 times, only to lose out on winning the championship to Fenerbahce on goal difference.
The 26-year-old Turkish international netted 35 times in 41 games this season and his modest €5 million release clause has attracted the attention of major clubs across Europe.
Yilmaz broke the clubs all time scoring record in the league this season, scoring 51% of Trabzonspor's 65 goals.
In an interview on TRT's football program, Stadyum earlier this year, Yilmaz stated that he would consider a move to Spain or England if the right offer was made.
Liverpool, Sunderland, Atletico Madrid, Rubin Kazan, Ajax and Galatasaray have also been linked with the Turkish Goal King.

In Serbia: "West Ham after Stankovic. And for permission ..."
According to the Serbian press, there is very real interest from West Ham for Dejan Stankovic. The issue of work permit, raised today by the British media (Stankovic, being outside the EU, must have played at least 75% of games from last season) can be bypassed by a special request that the club can send to the British authorities.
In this way Stankovic would get the work permit and would have no problems in playing for the Hammers.

West Ham United in Austria - Wednesday
The Hammers began the third day of their training camp with a water polo tournament
There were no lie-ins for West Ham United's players and staff on Wednesday as the Hammers kicked-off the day with a water polo tournament.
Alarm calls woke the squad at 6.30am before they grabbed their towels and rode the short distance to the local swimming pool for a 7am start.
There, fitness coach Eamon Swift split the players and staff players into four teams for what quickly turned into a typically competitive competition. Among the staff members who joined the players in the pool was strength and conditioning coach Mathew Monte-Colombo, who is celebrating his birthday. With that, first-team coach and referee Wally Downes got the games underway.
Head of medicine Andy Rolls explained that exercising in the swimming pool had many benefits for the players.
"Training in water reduces the stress on the muscles and the joints, while the resistance of the water helps to build up muscle strength," said Rolls. "So, the players are conditioning their bodies and having fun at the same time."
The activity in the pool quickly attracted the attention of youngsters from a school across the road, who evidently begin their day earlier than their English counterparts.
While all the matches were competitive, it quickly became clear that having a good goalkeeper was vital to a team's success. With that in mind, Team Two put Stephen Henderson in goal and the 6'4 stopper kept a succession of tournament-clinching clean sheets.
While Henderson was unbeatable, Jack Collison again proved his prowess as a water polo star by prompting play in an influential midfield role. Ahead of him, Kevin Nolan was on hand to convert chances from close-range, just as he does on the football pitch.
Nolan's winning team was completed by Nicky Maynard, who scored one searing long-range goal, Ricardo Vaz Te and head of rehabilitation Stijn Vandenbroucke.
Team One proved to be second best on the day, winning through to the final courtesy of scoring seven goals in their opening three games. However, James Tomkins, Guy Demel, George McCartney, Sam Baldock, Gary O'Neil and Mark Noble came up just short in the final.
Teams Three and Four played-off for third place, but the two sides could not find a winner in normal time and were forced to share the wooden spoon.
After the water polo, Noble made his way to the top of a nearby water slide, only to find the water flow turned off and have to make his way down on foot!
The short ride back to the hotel was followed by breakfast before the players began to prepare for their morning training session at 10am.
Lletget loving life
Sebastian Lletget is in positive mood after being called-up to the first-team squad for pre-season
At times, it has been tough for West Ham United teenager Sebastian Lletget.
Living thousands of miles from his hometown of San Jose, California, and suffering from a severe bout of glandular fever during his Academy scholarship threatened to derail his promising career.
But the United States Under-23 international has stuck at hit and, as he begins his third season as a professional, has been rewarded with a call-up to the first-team squad for their pre-season training camp in Austria.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder - considered by many to be among the most skilful players at the Club, told West Ham TV of his delight at being included and his high hopes for the season ahead.
"I'm really pleased to have got the call-up and I think the boys have received me well," said the American. "Basically, I have nothing but good things to say and am really relishing it.
"Training on Monday was good but it was so hot! The weather means it is going to be a tough week. It's very hot and humid and coming back from summer, we're not all going to be 100 per cent fit. It's going to be tough but it's going to be a lot of fun too."
Having been called upon regularly by his country in recent summers, Lletget was afford the luxury of a free close-season after the USA failed to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
The player himself believes the rest will be of huge benefit as he seeks to establish himself in Sam Allardyce's squad on a regular basis.
"Big time, I think the rest was important. I think this summer I have enjoyed being home but I've also worked hard on the things I need to work on from last season.
"I think I have improved and hopefully I can show the manager what I can do."
When Lletget - signed from West Ham United International Academy partner club Sporting Santa Clara - looks around at the Hammers squad, he will see that he has a real chance to make the next step and save the Club from having to sign another midfield player ahead of the Barclays Premier League campaign.
"I am sure there are more signings to come but I just hope I can do my thing and realise the potential the manager sees in me."
