Galatasaray go for Jo! Turks beat West Ham in bid to sign £19m Manchester City flop
Out of favour: Striker Jo
Galatasaray are set to sign Jo on loan from Manchester City for the rest of the season.
The Brazil striker is midway through a year-long loan at Everton, but the Merseysiders are prepared to let him move after poor form and discipline.
West Ham United were thought to be weighing up a move for the 22-year-old after wrapping up their long-awaited takeover, but Galatasaray have beaten them to the punch.
The Turkish club's sporting director Haldun Ustunel has flown to London for talks with City and are willing to put an attractive offer on the table.
Jo is out of favour at Goodison Park and was recently suspended by boss David Moyes for making an unauthorised trip back to his homeland.
He is also surplus to requirements at City at the moment after failing to make an impact since a £19million move from CSKA Moscow in July 2008.
Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola is determined to strengthen his attacking options and has missed out on loan moves for Brazil striker Adriano and Italy international Luca Toni already this year.
New Upton Park owners David Gold and David Sullivan admitted they were keen to bring in forwards and defenders after completing their takeover on Tuesday.
Zola continues to run the rule over Zenit St Petersburg striker Sergey Kornilenko, who has been training with the Hammers since last Friday.

Reports that he could revive interest in Brazil striker Adriano seem wide of the mark as the Flamengo star has indicated he is unwilling to leave his hometown Rio de Janeiro club until the summer.
Jo is one of a number of players who ambitious Galatasaray are looking at as they fight for the Turkish title with Istanbul rivals Fenerbahce.
Blackburn's Benni McCarthy, Aston Villa's John Carew and Tottenham Hotspur target Ruud van Nistelrooy are also options.

JO KO ... Everton have cut short his loan spell
DAVID MOYES decided to dump on-loan striker Jo after the Brazilian failed to turn up for training AGAIN this week.
The Everton boss feared the 22-year-old, who had already been fined and suspended for returning to his homeland over Christmas without permission, was becoming too much of a disruptive influence.
Manchester City ace Jo returned to training at the beginning of last week but, when he failed to turn up at the club's Finch Farm complex on Monday, Moyes' patience ran out.
City immediately loaned him out yesterday to Turkish side Galatasaray.
Moyes said: "Jo didn't come in over Christmas so we fined and suspended him.
"I brought him back in, spoke to him and explained to the players I was going to give him another chance and he came and trained with us last week.
"And then he didn't turn up for training on Monday again so I don't know how many more chances I can give people.
"I thought it was only the going to be disruptive to the players, who thought it was the right thing to bring him back after his suspension.
"But when he never came in to work on Monday that was the final straw."
Meanwhile, Everton are in talks to sign Legia Warsaw and Slovakia keeper Jan Mucha, 27, at the end of the season
