West Ham United will reportedly offer around €25 million to sign Youssef En-Nesyri from La Liga club Sevilla in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Caught Offside, a reunion between Julen Lopetegui and Youssef En-Nesyri might be on the cards at West Ham United heading into the summer transfer window. The Hammers are ready to submit a bid worth €25 million to sign the Moroccan striker from La Liga club Sevilla.
Youssef En-Nesyri and his Sevilla ride
Youssef En-Nesyri has been a solid performer since joining Sevilla from CD Leganes in January 2020. The 26-year-old did not take time to settle down at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium and has been a bright spot for the Andalusian giants even though they have struggled in the last two La Liga campaigns.
The Moroccan international has a decent record thus far in the 2023/24 season. En-Nesyri has contributed to 20 goals in 37 appearances across all competitions, finding the back of the net 17 times while providing three assists. However, the player’s adventure in La Liga might end in the summer transfer window, with a reunion with Julen Lopetegui at West Ham United on the cards.
West Ham United will likely appoint Lopetegui as David Moyes’s replacement after the 2023/24 season ends. The Scottish manager had a superb spell at the London Stadium but will depart due to sub-par performances by his team in 2024 thus far. And Lopetegui might have a familiar player at his disposal next season.
Premier League adventure beckons?
Youssef En-Nesyri has been on West Ham United’s radar for a long time, with the East London outfit plotting a summer move for the Moroccan international. Michail Antonio and Danny Ings are the only strikers in the West Ham squad, thus illustrating the need to sign a new centre-forward in the summer transfer window.
Both strikers are on the wrong side of 30, with Ings no longer good enough to play for a Premier League club. En-Nesyri has thus emerged as a viable target for West Ham United. And the Hammers are ready to submit a bid worth €25 million to sign the 26-year-old from La Liga club Sevilla.
It will be interesting to see if a bid worth €25 million does the trick for West Ham to secure Youssef En-Nesyri’s services. Nevertheless, a reunion between Lopetegui and the Moroccan attacker is on the cards.
