According to La Colina de Nervion, Arsenal are interested in Sevilla forward Youssef En-Nesyri, although West Ham are also keen.
What’s the story?
Well, the Spanish news outlet believe Arsenal are already thinking about life after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
La Colina de Nervion state that the Gunners believe En-Nesyri would be an ideal replacement for the 62-cap Gabon international, who will turn 33 in June.
Additionally, Aubameyang will only have one year left on his contract in June, so his future is definitely on the agenda.
However, the north Londoners face competition from West Ham, who have tried very hard to sign En-Nesyri according to La Colina de Nervion.
The 24-year-old scored 24 goals in 52 games last season, and has began the current campaign on fire with two goals in three La Liga outings.
En-Nesyri also has 35 caps for Morocco, in which he’s scored 11 goals.
Can Arsenal or West Ham sign Youssef En-Nesyri?
Well, by the sounds of it, the two London clubs will struggle to sign Sevilla’s No.15.
La Colina de Nervion believe En-Nesyri loves Seville, and has already turned down lucrative offers to stay in the city.
The offers were also attractive to Sevilla, although there was no urgent need to sell after Tottenham signed Bryan Gil for £21.6m.
However, La Colina de Nervion do believe another goal-laden campaign will make Sevilla rethink that stance.
Should he score over 20 goals once again, the money on the table could be too difficult for Sevilla to turn down.
Only time will tell who wins this race between Arsenal and West Ham.
