According to a report from Fotomac, Besiktas are now ready to sell alleged West Ham United target Cyle Larin for around £7.7 million.

The Hammers could face competition for the Canadian hitman from Everton, however, according to Fotomac.
West Ham boss David Moyes desperately needs to bolster his centre-forward ranks at the London Stadium this summer.
Michail Antonio is currently the Hammers’ only recognised striker. And that needs to change fast.
West Ham get Cyle Larin boost
The 26-year-old has been on Moyes’s radar since March (Sabah).
Larin, a 33-capped Canada international, has enjoyed a fine campaign this season. He has 19 goals and four assists to his name in 39 games so far (Transfermarkt).
The Besiktas ace is a hard working striker and a very good finisher. He seems to be the ideal fit for a David Moyes managed team.
Fotomac claims that Besiktas are now ready to sell Larin for just £7.7 million.
That would be an absolute bargain for West Ham, in spite of the fact that he is not a proven commodity in the Premier League.
Cyle Larin should absolutely not be our only striker signing this summer, however. If he is, the West Ham fans would be totally underwhelmed.
If he is brought in as a back-up/competition for Antonio and another high profile new forward signing, however, it would be a wise move from the Hammers.
