West Ham United explore deal for Lorient striker Terem Moffi after Youssef En-Nesyri snub
West Ham are exploring a move for Lorient striker Terem Moffi after being snubbed by Sevilla forward Youssef En-Nesyri, as reported by The Sun.
In the transfer live blog (11 January, 12:12), The Sun reports that the Hammers revived interest in En-Nesyri, but he is not keen to move to the London stadium.
Moyes wants to add more attacking talent this month but En-Nesyri doesn’t want to leave Sevilla this month.
Moffi has only 18 months remaining on his current deal, and Lorient may have no choice but to part ways with the striker [90 Min, 10 January].
Improvement
The Hammers signed Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo in the summer transfer window by paying a massive fee.
The Italy striker is taking time to adjust to the new league, but he is a superb player and would come good for the club if they persist with him.
David Moyes has also used Michail Antonio wisely considering his age, and he still remains a potent option.
However, getting goals have become a major problem for the club this season, and Moyes could be tempted to sign a new striker in January.
TalkSPORT reported on 10 January that Wolves are interested in signing Antonio, and it is unknown what the club would do if they receive a good offer for the player.
Of course, Moyes would love to keep Antonio at the club, but there are financial aspects that West Ham could consider.
Moffi is a versatile attacker who can play as a striker or in the wide attacking areas. He has scored 10 goals in 16 appearances for the French club this season in Ligue 1 so far.
