Feghouli, 32, is currently available on a free transfer following his departure from Galatasaray at the end of last season.

According to Turkish news outlet Hurriyet, the Tigers are ‘interested’ in bringing him in for nothing.

West Ham days

West Ham signed Feghouli back in 2016 on a three-year contract to add more competition and depth to their attacking department.

Prior to his move to London, he caught the eye playing for Grenoble in France and Valencia in Spain.

He went on to play 27 times for the Hammers and chipped in with four goals.

However, his time with the club was short and he was given the green light to move on after just 12 months when Galatasaray came calling.

Feghouli has spent the past five campaigns with the Turkish giants and scored 34 goals in 156 matches before leaving a couple of months ago.
