West Ham United 'plotting Atiba Hutchinson swoop'

By , Reporter
West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic reportedly wants to take Atiba Hutchinson from former club Besiktas.

West Ham United manager Slaven Bilic is reportedly plotting a transfer raid on former club Besiktas for midfielder Atiba Hutchinson.

The Canadian international was a regular fixture in the Black Eagles side under Bilic last season.

According to Hurriyet, Bilic is looking to take Hutchinson to Upton Park, but Besiktas are holding out for €7m (£5m) while the Hammers are unwilling to bid higher than €5m.

Furthermore, the Turkish giants are facing an injury crisis in midfield. Tolgay Arslan and Veli Kavlak are long-term absentees and Hutchinson's possible departure would mean that the Istanbul club will need to sign a replacement before the end of the transfer window.

Hutchinson scored two goals in 43 appearances last season.
