Youssef En-Nesyri, the striker for Sevilla, is a major player on West Ham United’s transfer target list if you are familiar with the club’s recent transfer priorities.
David Moyes and his team have had their eye on the striker for some time; during the past few years, they have attempted to sign him multiple times, but the player has consistently expressed his desire to stay at Sevilla.
That seems to have changed, though, as he is now covered by ABC Sevilla and there are several reports indicating that he wishes to leave the Spanish team.
The newspaper reports that, according to Al Jazeera and Deportes Cope Sevilla, the striker has ‘asked to leave’ Sevilla in the January transfer window.
They explain that after a summer which saw En-Nesyri lose one of his ‘most faithful companions’ in the dressing room in Yassine Bono, the striker is now also unhappy with manager Diego Alonso.
He ‘does not understand’ how the manager continues to pick striker Mariano ahead of him, despite the fact he has scored more goals than him and is the ‘offensive reference’ for the club
He also believes there’s ‘imbalances in the team’s efforts’ and would prefer to leave than stick around as he has done in the past, when West Ham tried to lure him away.
His unhappiness has been shown on the pitch, with the Moroccan failing to show ‘excessive joy’ celebrating his goals.
That is interpreted as a blatant indication that he is “not comfortable at Sevilla” and that he has now, apparently, changed his mind about leaving, which should intrigue West Ham.
They are the team that has pursued him the most over the past few years, and they are in desperate need of a new striker because Gianluca Scamacca left. Additionally, there are questions about whether Michail Antonio can perform at the necessary level right now, so a striker would be appreciated.
As evidenced by their efforts over the past few years, David Moyes and his staff obviously believe that En-Nesyri would be a good fit, and this could be the perfect time for them to make the move.
