Emmanuel Emenike to West Ham: Nigeria striker drops hint over move to Upton Park
Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike has dropped a hint he could complete a transfer to West Ham in the coming days after posting a photo of the Hollywood movie Green Street onto his Instagram account.
Standard Sport understands that Mauro Zarate's proposed £1.5million move to Italian club Fiorentina will free up the space on West Ham's wage bill for the club to secure a loan move for Emenike.
The forward is currently on loan at Abu Dhabi club Al Ain from Turkish giants Fenerbahce, but could now move to Upton Park on loan until the end of the season with the Hammers looking to potentially make the transfer permanent in the summer.
West Ham co-owner David Sullivan is expected to meet Emenike in the next 24 hours to agree terms on a loan switch to the Hammers and, ahead of the talks, the player has taken to social media to address his potential transfer to the Premier League.
Next to a photo of a scene from the movie Green Street, which is based on West Ham, Emenike wrote "Hahahaha" alongside two winking emoticons.
