Youssef En-Nesyri future about to take radical turn after West Ham United made proposal last week
Sevilla attacker and West Ham United target Youssef En-Nesyri’s future could be about to take a “radical turn” in the closing stages of the January window, according to a report from Estadio Deportivo.
Sevilla have rejected two offers from the Hammers for the Moroccan forward, including a bid last week, with the player initially refusing to leave.
However, he could now leave this month, with French club Nice having joined the race to land him.
The Mirror (19 January, page 54) reported that Rob Newman, the Hammers recruitment chief, is planning another attempt to sign him on loan with an option to buy, which could appeal to the Andalusia club.
Moving on
The Hammers have tried many times to land the Moroccan, with David Moyes apparently being a big fan of the player.
They have made several attempts in the past to sign him, and have tried their best to land him as well. It appears that he doesn’t fancy joining the Hammers, and despite his change of heart, the club shouldn’t even bother to make one last attempt.
There’s no point chasing after him, and it is just a waste of time.
The Hammers needed to bolster their forward department in January, and they moved quickly to sign Danny Ings from Aston Villa.
Gianluca Scamacca is currently injured while Michail Antonio has struggled for form this season.
It is unlikely that the Hammers will sign another striker this month unless they allow Antonio to leave, which would be a very risky decision.
The club spent heavily in the summer window and backed their manager, and they have done so again. But in the case of En-Nesyri, it’s not even worth trying again.
