Fenerbahce Eyeing Angelo Ogbonna on Loan With Option Buy Deal as Replacement for Martin Skrtel

West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna has been linked with a move to Fenerbahce, with their sporting director Damien Comolli apparently keen on signing the defender.

Ogbonna started West Ham's game against Brighton after the 5-0 defeat to Manchester City the week previous, captaining the side to a 1-1 draw on the south coast on Saturday.

However, the 31-year-old has now caught the interest of Turkish side Fenerbahce, who are looking to try and sign the defender on loan with an option to buy.

According to Takvim, Ogbonna would be brought in to fill the position vacated by former Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel, who joined Serie A side Atalanta earlier in August.
