West Ham United are battling Turkish giants Galatasaray for the signature of midfielder Badou Ndiaye, who has also been linked with Newcastle United, according to Sky Sports News HQ.
The 26-year-old currently plies his trade in Turkey with Osmanlispor and his exploits have not gone unnoticed, with Galatasaray wanting to take Ndiaye to the Turk Telekom Arena.
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic counts Besiktas amongst his former coaching jobs and it appears the Croatian has been tipped off about Ndiaye by his contacts in Turkey, as the Hammers are fighting for the midfielder's signature.
Both clubs are on talks to sign Ndiaye from Osmanlispor and the player is valued at around the £10m mark.
Newcastle have also been linked with the Senegal international, but the Magpies look to have work to do if they do want to break into the mix for Ndiaye's signature.
