West Ham are set to enter race for the skipper of the Black Stars of Ghana Asamoah Gyan, according to reports in UK.
The Hammers are ready to battle Turkish giant Besiktas to land the former Sunderland striker.
The 30-year-old forward has emerged on the radar of several clubs after he was demoted to the reserve side of Shanghai SIPG.
The Ghana international could be joining one of the European sides he has been linked to, either on a loan or permanent deal.
Asamoah joined Shanghai SIPG from UAE top-flight side Al Ain FC two years ago.
