David Moyes currently has Michail Antonio and Danny Ings as the two recognised strikers at his disposal. West Ham United’s need to bring in a new No.9 has increased after they sold Gianluca Scamacca to Atalanta earlier this summer.
Two days ago, Mucho Deporte talked about West Ham’s ‘eternal’ interest in Sevilla star Youssef En-Nesyri. The Hammers have failed in their efforts to sign him in the past.
Foot Mercato state West Ham’s target list includes Paris Saint-Germain’s Hugo Ekitiké and the 26-year-old.
A meeting took place between PSG advisor Luis Campos and West Ham technical director Tim Steiden for the 21-year-old Frenchman.
It’s stated the talks were ‘considered positive’, especially since the London club can match Ekitiké’s salary and meet the Ligue 1 side’s demand. The Hammers are also looking at En-Nesyri.
The Europa Conference League winners are ‘very interested’ in the Morocco international and have already contacted both his entourage and Sevilla. The report adds En-Nesyri could ‘still leave’ the La Liga side if their request of €33m is fulfilled.
Foot Mercato say the Sevilla player’s case is not linked to that of Ekitiké, suggesting West Ham could try to sign the two attackers.
