According to a report from TEAMtalk, Turkish giants Fenerbahce have made a move to sign West Ham play-maker Manuel Lanzini.

The 27-year-old Argentine has really struggled with his form and fitness since suffering a serious injury before the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Lanzini joined West Ham on loan in the summer of 2015, before making his move to east London a permanent one the following summer for around £9 million (Daily Mail).
He was an instant hit at the club. But things have turned sour over the past 18 months. The London Stadium faithful have grown increasingly frustrated with the former River Plate man’s lackadaisical performances.
Lanzini, who earns £100k-a-week at the London Stadium according to Football.London, is a prime candidate to be sold this summer (ExWHUemployee). David Moyes needs to raise funds, and selling the 27-year-old would bring in some much needed cash.
The Hammers wouldn’t really miss him either. Lanzini racked up just three assists and no goals in 25 games for West Ham last season (Transfermarkt).
He has been a shadow of his former self over the past 18 months. And it seems as though his time at West Ham could be coming to an end.
TEAMtalk reckons Fenerbahce have made an approach to sign the Argentine. The report does claim that Lanzini doesn’t fancy a move to the Super Lig giants, however.
So perhaps the 27-year-old’s time at the London Stadium isn’t done just yet.
