AC Milan attacking midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu is out of contract at the end of this month, and he has reportedly received offers from Premier League teams, including Chelsea and Arsenal.
However, the Turkish international has yet to make his mind up on his future, with it being claimed that the playmaker is holding out for a sizeable wage rise to leave the San Siro.
Calhanoglu scored nine goals and provided 12 assists in 43 appearances for Milan last season but, when asked whether West Ham should take a look at him, supporters on Twitter were very much against the idea:
No thanks

Asking a £150K+ a week and currently has Champions League if he stays in Milan…

It is not a surprising reaction from fans. They have been burned by high-profile players before, who have moved to the Hammers to get a big paycheque.
With manager David Moyes having made it clear that he is looking for young, hungry players, you can bet he will be steering well clear of Calhanoglu.
