According to La Razón, Sevilla are expecting West Ham to make another attempt to sign Youssef En-Nesyri this summer, after a failed January swoop.
The Hammers saw a £27 million bid rejected for the 23-year-old in January, with the Spanish side hoping to receive £35 million for their talisman according to the Daily Star.
No such offer arrived and the 35-cap Morocco international remained in La Liga.
Now, however, Sevilla – who have a place in the Champions League last 16 – are expecting a renewed attempt from the Irons for the man they still value at €40 million (£35 million), according to La Razón.
That is why Sevilla are lining up Real Madrid forward Mariano Diaz as a potential replacement.
In addition to that information, La Razón state that AC Milan and AS Roma are also willing to bid for En-Nesyri.
It’s no wonder the Sevilla No.15 is such hot property.
En-Nesyri has scored a remarkable 17 goals in 33 appearances this season.
13 of those goals have come in La Liga.
That is the same amount as Lionel Messi, while it’s just three behind the top scorer, Atletico Madrid’s Luis Suarez.
If West Ham lose out to AC Milan, AS Roma or another side, we bet David Moyes will be kicking himself that he didn’t wrap up a deal in January.
