Irons officials head to Belgium in pursuit of versatile prodigy Ozaturk

West Ham have sent a delegation to Belgium in a bid to sign 19 year old Beerschot midfielder Alpaslan Ozaturk, the Daily Mail have reported today.

The gifted young player can operate at right back as well as in midfield and is available on a free transfer after his club were relegated from the top flight.

Ozaturk has represented both Belgium and Turkey, where his parents hail from, at youth level and has tasted English football already after a two year stint at Birmingham City as a youth player.

We at Blowing Bubbles have not been able to source any grainy, selective, unreliable YouTube footage of Ozaturk at the moment so the proof of the pudding of this one will be in the amazing future superstar.
