Vedat Muriqi: West Ham Join Man Utd & Tottenham in Race for Kosovo Star Striker

West Ham United have joined a host of European clubs to register an interest in signing Fenerbahçe's Vedat Muriqi, according to a report from Turkey.

The Kosovo international striker joined Fenerbahçe in the summer following a successful spell with fellow Turkish side Çaykur Rizespor, where he scored 25 goals in 50 appearances.

He has started strongly for his new club, scoring two goals in his first three games. He has also found form at international level, bagging two goals and getting two assists in his appearances against the Czech Republic and England over the international break.

He particularly impressed in Kosovo's 5-3 defeat to England, causing plenty of problems for the Three Lions' defence, while also assisting two and scoring one of his side's three goals.
