Julen Loptegui’s West Ham have had a busy summer transfer window thus far – and they’re showing no signs of slowing down. Recently, according to Turkish outlet Sabah, they have been linked with a move for 24-year-old Galatasaray winger Baris Alper Yilmaz.
They are set to put forth an offer of £28 million for the player – however, it may not be so simple, as Galatasaray are keen to keep the player at the Ali Sami Yen Stadium ahead of next season.

Ipswich have made another dip into the transfer market – they have snapped up 36-cap Kosovan international from Burnley for an undisclosed fee. Previously, the 25-year-old has played for Premier League champions Manchester City, although he never made an appearance in the league for the Sky Blues.
Speaking in an interview featured on Ipswich’s official club website, Muric said: “I’m excited to have joined the Club and am looking forward to getting started. I watched how the team played last season and feel the style will suit me very well, so this is the perfect move for me.
“I have had good conversations with the Manager and Rene [Gilmartin, Head of Goalkeeping] and believe this is the right place for me to be as the Club moves into the Premier League. I’m looking forward to getting started.”
