West Ham are putting the finishing touches on a deal for Emmanuel Emenike before announcing his arrival from Fenerbahce, according to reports.
Emenike is set to join the Hammers on loan for the second half of the season as Slaven Bilic seeks further attacking options with his striking department hit by injury.
Both Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho are sidelined and, though they are restricted by a wage bill which is at capacity, the departure of Mauro Zarate has freed space for West Ham to add to the signing of Sam Byram earlier this month.
The deal is expected to be an initial six-month loan spell with a view to purchase for around £7million and reports overnight suggest the Hammers are closing in on their man.
