Report: Hammers to return for striker with second bid

West Ham are preparing a new offer worth around £32m for Youssef En-Nesyri after failing with their opening bid according to the Daily Star

The Hammers failed with an initial bid of £22.5m rising to £27m with add-ons for the Morocco striker last weekend.

They are willing to go back in with an improved offer of £25m rising to around £32m if the player hits certain performance targets with West Ham claims the tabloid. Sevilla are reported to want at least £35m for En-Nesyri, who scored against Alaves last night to take his tally to 13 goals in 26 games this season.

The report cites sources close to the Spanish club insisting they want a higher fixed fee, paid up front and not in instalments.

En-Nesyri joined Sevilla for £18m from fellow La Liga side Leganes only 12 months ago and he has scored 19 goals in 52 appearances.

He signed a five-and-a-half-year deal back then but that has not put the Hammers off in their pursuit of the Morocco international.

The 23-year-old came through the youth ranks at Malaga before leaving for Leganes in the summer of 2018.
