West Ham interested in Fener defender

West Ham United are reportedly keen on wrapping up a cut-price deal for Fenerbahce defender Hasan Ali Kaldirim.

The Hammers are in discussions with Kaldirim's agent - who happens to be his father, over a potential transfer before the end of the month.

The 27-year-old has just six months left on his contract, and Fener are prepared to offload the defender for a nominal sum rather than losing him on a Bosman in the summer.

Scottish champions Celtic have also credited with interest for the full-back, but the Turk is prepared to wait for the best offer in hand prior to Tuesday's transfer deadline.

Should the deal go through, the left-back could be reunited with fellow Turkey teammate Gokhan Tore, who has had a rather tough spell with the east London outfit.

Kaldirim has appeared over 130 times for Fenerbahce since linking up from Kayserispor in 2012.
