West Ham target Youssef En-Nesyri will cost £45million
Reported West Ham target Youssef En-Nesyri has been set a £45million price tag by his club Sevilla.
Mundo Deportivo report that the 24-year-old is wanted by Arsenal and that the Irons have looked at him in the past, and if either of them want the Morrocan, then it appears as if they are going to have to come up with a huge fee.
The Irons were originally linked with a move for the La Liga striker in January this year and even had a bid rejected, so it would be intriguing to see if they will make another offer [David Ornstein].
A huge fee is required.
The 24-year-old is a striker in red-hot form and looks to be going only one way, and that is to the top.
In six games this season, he has scored two goals, while overall, he has a better than one in three goal record for Sevilla.
However, the fee is still pretty large, and you would expect that it could be too much for the Irons.
It is not as if the Hammers need to sign another top-class forward given the way Michail Antonio is playing at the moment, and En-Nesyri might turn out to be a player who the Irons’ have missed their chance with.
This would be a shame as he is clearly brilliant, but to be honest, at the moment, we aren’t convinced the Hammers need to sign him, and a backup striker would probably be a better option.
In other West Ham news, the Irons have failed to fulfil a major off field promise.
