West Ham United Football Club are said to be interested in Halil Altintop.

The 27-year-old Turkish international has spent his entire career in Germany, the nation of his birth, and helped Schalke to the Bundesliga title in 2006/07.

Altintop left Gelsenkirchen when his contract was cancelled by mutual consent in the winter, and he has since been plying his trade with Eintracht Frankfurt.

His deal expires in the summer when he will be available on a free transfer, and reports in London claim he could be a target for Upton Park boss Gianfranco Zola.
