signing Nigeria international Emmanuel Emenike in the
January transfer window.
Emenike, 28, has spent the last six months on loan with
United Arab Emirates outfit Al Ain from Turkish club
Fenerbahce.
With Andy Carroll out injured once again, West Ham are
keen to dip into the transfer market for a replacement, but
Bilic says there is no deal in place yet.
"There is no clear agreement about Emenike," Bilic said on
Monday.
"He is an important player but Fenerbahce may need
another striker first, so it’s by no means certain that they will
release him.
Meanwhile, Bilic also confirmed the club are monitoring
Galatasaray and Turkey striker Burak Yilmaz.
"Yilmaz is a very good footballer," the manager said. "He’s
an excellent striker and among the fittest of players.
"I know him very well and I admit that he is one of the
names on our list.
"But he is not the only player on our list. If we decide to take
one striker, then we can take action."
West Ham are sixth in the Premier League table and their
next test comes against Liverpool in the FA Cup on
Saturday.
