Nigerian striker Emmanuel Emenike has moved closer to completing a loan move to Premier League side West Ham United, according to ESPN FC.
The Hammers have enquired with Fenerbahce whether they would allow Emenike to go out on loan for the rest of the season and the Turkish club have reportedly agreed to a deal in principle.
The 28-year-old is currently on the books of United Arab Emirates club Al-Ain, who are willing to let his loan move to end prematurely.
Fenerbahce would then allow Emenike to go out on loan again to West Ham, with the option of a permanent deal at the end of the 2015/16 season.
The two clubs remain locked in talks as they try to agree a loan fee before the transfer window closes on February 1. Emenike has reportedly agreed personal terms with West Ham to make the switch to Upton Park.
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic is looking to add to his striking options before the close of the transfer window, with Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho on the sidelines due to injury.
