Rob Newman to try again for Yousef En Nesyri with West Ham United loan deal on the cards
West Ham have not given up on signing Sevilla attacker Yousef En Nesyri, and they are exploring the possibility to sign him on loan, according to a report from The Mirror.
Sevilla have rejected two offers from the Hammers for the Moroccan forward, including a bid of more than £17 million, but The Mirror (19 January, page 54) reports that Rob Newman, the Hammers recruitment chief, is planning another attempt to sign him.
The La Liga club are unwilling to sell him permanently but a loan move with an option to buy could appeal to them.
Unlikely
It’s time West Ham stop these wild goose chase and look for realistic options.
The Hammers are long-term admirers of En Nesyri and they have made several attempts in the past and present to sign him.
He doesn’t seem to be willing to leave the club, and there’s no point chasing after him. It’s just simply a waste of time.
The Hammers are looking to add a new striker to their ranks, and it comes as a big surprise. David Moyes has the likes of Gianluca Scamacca and Michail Antonio as two major options, but he needs more quality upfront.
The Hammers have also been linked with a move for Lorient striker Terem Moffi, while they retain an interest in Aston Villa striker Danny Ings [Daily Mail].
The club spent heavily in the summer window and backed their manager to the fullest. But, the results have been below par.
West Ham find themselves in the relegation zone and Moyes is under tremendous pressure to save his job.
