West Ham Midfielder Alvarez Joins Fenerbahce On Loan

West Ham United midfielder Edson Alvarez has joined Turkish club Fenerbahce on loan with an option to make the move permanent next summer.

The 27-year-old Mexican international joined the Hammers in a £35m deal from Dutch side Ajax in 2023.

He has made 73 appearances for the club, scoring two goals and assisting three.

Alvarez was an unused substitute in West Ham’s opening Premier League defeat at Sunderland but was not part of the squad for Friday’s 5-1 home defeat by Chelsea.

However, he captained his national side and scored the winner for Mexico in the Concacaf Gold Cup final against hosts the USA in the summer.

Super Lig club Fenerbahce are managed by Jose Mourinho and signed full-back Nelson Semedo from Wolves this summer, while former Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has arrived on loan from Saudi side Al-Nassr.
