The Turkish international is looking forward to heading back to his Turkish parent club.
West Ham’s Gokhan Tore
West Ham United’s on-loan Turkish winger Gokhan Tore has been speaking about his plans for the future, as he looks forward to returning to action with parent club Besiktas.
The Hammers moved to bring in the Turkish international on loan from Slaven Bilic’s former club in the summer, with a view to a permanent transfer.
But he has struggled in the capital. His form was poor for the club at the start of the season and he then suffered an injury in October. Tore, who according to the London Evening Standard cost a £2.5 million loan fee, underwent surgery on the problem but is not considered an option for West Ham this season.
Speaking to the press in Turkey, as reported by Sporx, he has now made it clear he is simply looking forward to getting fit and playing for Besiktas again.
Tore, who is currently back in Istanbul, stated:
“It is hard to be apart from Besiktas. This team will achieve important goals in Europe and the Super Lig.
“My injury has passed and I continue to work. I am going to be a much better Tore. I would do anything to go back to Besiktas and find my form.”

The 25-year-old, who has 26 caps for the Turkish national team, has been one of many poor summer signings from West Ham. He has played in just eight games for the Hammers and not scored, with it very unlikely he will add to that tally.
Hopefully, he can get back to something like his best back at his parent club.
