Lopetegui has ‘clear’ priority signing for West Ham – Hammers have advantage to beat PL side to sign player

for years, the Spanish press have been about West Ham United’s interest in Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri.

The striker has a year left on his contract, and the La Liga side are trying to cash in from his sale in the summer window.

La Colina de Nervión point out West Ham were one of the clubs to have made an attempt to sign the 27-year-old in the past.

The Hammers are looking at him again, and this has also been reported in the English press. After relaying this, La Colina de Nervión give their own take on this case.

New West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui managed the Morrocco international at Sevilla. The Spaniard, who has made it a priority to sign a striker, is ‘clear’ that he wants to reunite with his former player at the Premier League side.

En-Nesyri scored 20 goals and registered three assists last season. His performances and the contract situation make it attractive for West Ham and other clubs.

Manchester United are said to be competing with West Ham for the frontman. The report says Lopetegui has a good relationship with En-Nesyri, and this could give the London club an advantage to beat the Red Devils to his signature.
