ExWHUEmployee: West Ham will be priced out of signing En-Nesyri this summer
West Ham are expected to be priced out of completing a move for Sevilla forward Youssef En-Nesyri, according to ExWHUemployee.
The Moroccan forward scored on 18 occasions last season in La Liga and has been on the Hammers’ radar this summer.
Since Sebastien Haller’s departure, West Ham haven’t signed a new striker and are exploring their options ahead of next season as Michail Antonio’s fitness record has made signing an upgrade very important in the coming weeks.
En-Nesyri appeared to be on the Hammers’ radar, but ExWHUemployee believes that it is unlikely to materialise.
Speaking on his West Ham Way podcast episode on Patreon, he said, “En-Nesyri of Sevilla, I think they’ll price him out of joining us and he isn’t keen on moving to England.”
That’s that?
The 24-year-old would’ve been the perfect signing for us and one that could take us to the next level.
He is a potent goal scorer whose aerial prowess makes him a perfect fit in our squad. Given how David Moyes likes his full-backs to bomb crosses into the box, the Morocco international would be the ideal man to be on the end of them.
While he’s got all the attributes of being a target man, there is more to him than his ability to head a ball. He’s extremely technical and skillful and has the capability to beat his man.
AS reported in April that anyone interested would have to shell out a fee in the region of £35million to sign the player and per ExWHUEmployee’s recent update, it seems they’re holding firm in their high valuation of the player.
Even if they were willing to negotiate, he doesn’t seem keen on moving to England so he would probably find a reason not to enter negotiations with the club.
Now that things are cleared out, we should shift our focus to someone more attainable.
