Report: 113 career goal striker wants to join West Ham but Lopetegui prioritises another transfer
Sevilla’s Spanish coach Julen Lopetegui (R) greets Sevilla’s Moroccan forward Youssef En-Nesyri at the end of the Spanish league football match bet…West Ham United have been handed a major boost with the news that Youssef En-Nesyri wants to join us this summer, but the transfer may well have to wait.
Yousseffd En-Nesyri has been attracting attention from West Ham for quite some time now, dating all the way back to January 2021.
The Morocco international is proven at the very highest level, and he possesses all of the skills needed to succeed in the Premier League.
En-Nesyri will be out of contract with Sevilla in 2025, so unless the La Liga side tie him down to a new contract, this summer will be the last chance they have to get a fee for him.
With Lopetegui so keen to sign a new centre-forward this summer, it’s easy to see why the Spaniard would be eyeing up a move for the Morocco international hitman.
However, it seems like we might have to wait a while yet before we see the Sevilla star in a Hammers shirt…

He’s absolutely perfect for us, so that’s an exciting claim.However, the bad news is that Lopetegui could be set to prioritise another transfer.
The former Leganes hitman has absolutely everything needed to be a very big success in the Premier League.He’s strong in the air, is always willing to run the channels to help create space for his teammates and is a very good finisher.The Sevilla man possesses impressive pace and has everything needed to successfully spearhead the Hammers attack next season.
I don’t really understand why Lopetegui can’t go all out to bring Youssef En-Nesyri to West Ham as well as some defensive midfield cover at the same time.Prioritising elsewhere leaves the door open for other clubs to come in and sign En-Nesyri. It would be a disaster if that happened in myHowever, it is suggested that Lopetegui may have to put a move to sign his former player on the back-burner for now.
