Fenerbahce striker Emmanuel Emenike is reportedly on the verge of finalising a six-month loan switch to Premier League side West Ham United.

West Ham United have reportedly reached an agreement with Fenerbahce to sign Emmanuel Emenike on loan.

The Nigerian is currently in the middle of a temporary stint with Al-Ain, but it is believed that the Middle Eastern club are prepared to release him.

That will free up the striker to join the Hammers on an initial six-month basis, according to Sky Sports News.

The report adds that there is a clause in the deal that will allow West Ham to secure the 28-year-old's services on a permanent basis.

Emenike has scored seven goals from his 11 outings in the Arabian Gulf League this term.
