West Ham United are expected to be in the market for a new striker this summer, and one target could help them land another.
The Hammers sold Sebastien Haller to Ajax in the January window, but didn’t manage to land a replacement for the Frenchman.
David Moyes seemingly decided to keep his money and look towards the summer instead, with a deal for Youssef En-Nesyri unable to be completed.
The Daily Star report that a new bid for the Moroccan ace is likely to materialise this summer, having failed with a £27million offer in January.
Sevilla have already started looking for replacements just in case they do lose En-Nesyri this summer, with Mariano Diaz wanted according to La Razon.
The Real Madrid man is out of favour under Zinedine Zidane, and may see Sevilla as an ideal escape route given that he would be able to stay in Spain.
Ironically, Diaz was offered to West Ham in January according to the Daily Mail, and wanted the switch in order to move to London.
Diaz heading to Sevilla could now help West Ham land En-Nesyri in a strange twist of events, though En-Nesyri won’t be easy to sign having hit 17 goals in 31 games this season.
