# Virals: West Ham ‘keen’ on signing Real Betis forward Nabil Fekir

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/10/04/virals-pablo-fornals-has-backed-jarrod-bowen-for-a-future-england-call-up/) are reportedly among the clubs ‘keen’ on signing Real Betis forward [Nabil Fekir](https://readwestham.com/2016/06/07/west-ham-club-record-move-nabil-fekir/).

The Hammers are believed to be interested in the 28-year-old along with [Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) rivals Everton and Arsenal.

So [nearly a Liverpool player](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/nabil-fekir-liverpool-transfer-agent-21480714) once upon a time, Fekir has continued to shine on the continent.

According to a report from Spanish outlet [Fichajes](https://www.fichajes.net/noticias/tres-equipos-premier-amenazan-renovacion-fekir-betis-20211002.html), as cited by [Prem News Centre](https://twitter.com/PremNewsCentre) on Twitter, West Ham are eyeing the Frenchman.

Capped [25 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nabil-fekir/nationalmannschaft/spieler/203496/verein_id/3377) by France, Fekir left Lyon for Real Betis in 2019 and has since scored [14 goals and provided 15 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nabil-fekir/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/203496) in 81 appearances.

This season the talented [World Cup-winning](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nabil-fekir/erfolge/spieler/203496) ace has netted twice as well as assisting teammates on [two occasions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nabil-fekir/leistungsdaten/spieler/203496) in 10 outings.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Now valued at £22.5million and under contract in Spain until 2023 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nabil-fekir/marktwertverlauf/spieler/203496)), Fekir previously held an eye-watering £63million market value – underling his abilities.

Despite a previously unspecified knee problem putting pay to a big-money Anfield switch, injuries [haven’t plagued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nabil-fekir/verletzungen/spieler/203496) the Frenchman’s career.

Perhaps viewed as a candidate to replace Manuel Lanzini in the squad at the London Stadium, Fekir’s [versatility](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nabil-fekir/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/203496) would come as a huge boost to David Moyes’ options.

Boasting a host of [strong attacking attributes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/134893/Show/Nabil-Fekir), age aside this is a deal that would make plenty of sense for the Irons at the right fee.
