West Ham linked with a familiar face

West Ham have finally been linked with a move for Youssef En-Nesyri, according to reports from the Spanish media. This connection isn’t surprising, given the Hammers’ past bids for the player and new manager Julen Lopetegui’s previous working relationship with En-Nesyri at Sevilla.

The Moroccan striker has been linked with West Ham before, with the club reportedly having a big-money offer rejected last summer. Despite Sevilla’s difficult campaign, En-Nesyri still managed to net 19 goals, prompting West Ham to revisit their interest.

Incoming manager Julen Lopetegui has first-hand experience of maximizing En-Nesyri’s potential, overseeing the striker’s most prolific season during their time together at Sevilla when he scored 24 goals.

With Sevilla now more open to a sale before the 26-year-old’s contract expires next summer, and En-Nesyri keen on a new challenge, a move to West Ham could be a logical step for all parties involved. It’s difficult to gauge whether this is genuine news or regurgitated drivel, but West Ham’s need for a striker is there for all to see.

    This utter waste of space scored 19 goals against some of the best defences in the world this season. He would have been our top scorer lol. Take a look at his goal reel online. Some real quality finishes. So why then is he a waste of space?

    Yup, yet more proof we’ve taken on the Spanish David Moyes. Utterly depressing and this player is an utter waste of space. Well done porno slug Sullivan.
