ExWHUemployee: West Ham now 'presented' with chance to sign 'important' star after Aguerd

Insider ExWHUemployee has revealed that West Ham United have been handed the ‘opportunity’ to try and sign Youssef En-Nesyri.

While all the transfer focus seems to have been on the possible signing of Rennes defender Nayef Aguerd, it looks as though a move for his Moroccan teammate could be next on the agenda for the Hammers.

Talking about the matter on The West Ham Way Patreon page, Ex outlined his understanding of the current situation in great detail.

He explained: “Manager David Moyes has been presented with the opportunity to bid for Sevilla’s forward Youssef En-Nesyri again.

“In the season 20/21 En-Nesyri scored 24 goals in 52 games where as last season he only managed 5 in 29 and Moyes needs to decide whether he will be able to recapture his best form although his new valuation does reflect this dip.

“There are other forward targets out there such as Bayo, Dennis and Broja but Moyes was very keen on the player in January. We will bring you more when we have it.”
