West Ham are reportedly ‘considering’ a move for Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri.
The 24-year-old ace was extensively linked with the Hammers in January 2021 and there were believed to be a number of rejected bids.
Sevilla have rejected a €25m + €5m bonuses offer from West Ham for the Moroccan Youssef En-Nesyri.
Discussions over the transfer continues between the two clubs.

Now, ahead of the Irons’ trip to face the La Liga title chasers, a fresh report from Fichajes has claimed that West Ham could rekindle their interest.
The report claims that the East London club are ‘very interested’ in the 44-cap Morocco star and will be one of David Moyes’ ‘first options’ when attempting to strengthen the attacking department in the summer.
This season En-Nesyri – likened to Karim Benzema by Euan McTear – has scored just three times and provided three assists in 17 appearances across all competitions.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valued at £36million and under contract in Spain until 2025 (Transfermarkt), signing the Moroccan for anything close to the previously mooted £30million fee would be an exceptional capture.
Despite missing 12 games this season and subsequently struggling for top form, En-Nesyri’s 18 goal 2020/21 campaign was all the evidence required to show the quality of the player.
Fit and available once more, Moyes will likely get a closer look at a potential target when West Ham face Sevilla tomorrow (March 10).
