West Ham United transfer news: Youssef En-Nesyri stance emerges amid Newcastle links
West Ham and Newcastle are reportedly keen on signing Youssef En-Nesyri this summer and the striker’s preference has been revealed.
According to the Mirror [25 June, Page 75], the Sevilla and Morocco striker has rebuffed interest from the Hammers.
The 26-year-old’s representatives are waiting for Newcastle to make their move as “big changes” are on the cards at the Spanish side after Victor Orta’s arrival.
Tough one
En-Nesyri, who starred for Morocco at the World Cup, is certainly going to be a man in demand this summer.
He’s been linked with a move to West Ham in the past but those were under different circumstances after two back-to-back top seven finishes.
Now, with their best player in Declan Rice leaving and the possibility of Gianluca Scamacca on his way out too, it’s not a stable side behind the scenes.
Newcastle will not just offer him more money but will also give him the chance of playing in the Champions League.
While the Hammers are in the Europa League, Sevilla are a side used to playing in Europe’s elite competition and it’s tough to convince him to move to the London Stadium.
David Moyes will want another striker if Scamacca leaves but En-Nesyri does not seem to be the one for him this summer.
In other West Ham news, the Hammers are already preparing to cash in on the Declan Rice money as they hold a transfer meeting in London as they’re confident of sealing a £50million signing.
