A report in
Turkey on Friday revealed that there is a clause in the Nigeria international
Emmanuel Emenike's contract which will see him join West Ham permanently in the
summer - if he plays 10 Premier League games for the Hammers.
The report
suggests that an €11 million (£8.5 million) fee has already been agreed and
will be activated should he feature in 10 league fixtures. He has so far played
in four and West Ham still have 10 to play.
The Nigerian
is six games away from signing for West Ham, according to Turkish reports.
West Ham
United moved to address their striker shortage at the start of last month with
a move to bring in Emenike until the end of the season.
The Nigerian
arrived at the club on loan from Fenerbahce at the start of the month to
provide cover in an area where injuries have been commonplace this term.
Emenike's
previous loan deal at Al-Ain was cancelled to accommodate the switch and after
a slow start he came to the fore in a recent FA Cup fixture with Blackburn
Rovers and looks a good asset for the club.
Whether or
not he is good enough to take on permanently is still up for debate. But a
report in Turkey is suggesting a situation in which they would have no choice
but to take him on board.
So it will
be interesting to see if the Nigerian does go on to play in 10 Premier League
games this season, or if he stops at nine.
