West Ham were given a potential boost in the pursuit of Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri this week when reputable club insider ExWHUemployee told the West Ham Way podcast that the La Liga side were already lining up a replacement.
The Hammers reportedly saw an initial £22m bid rebuffed in January and are expected to reignite their interest at the end of the season.
En-Nesryi has scored 17 goals this season in all competitions, including four Champions League strikes to help Sevilla qualify from the group stages.
Reacting to the claims on social media, the Irons faithful have been quick to give their opinions on whether the 23-year-old Moroccan is the man for the job at the London Stadium.
