According to the Daily Mail, West Ham are unwilling to increase their offer for Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri.
The Daily Mail claim that the Hammers bid £22 million for the 35-cap Morocco international, who has scored 13 goals in all competitions this season.
However, despite David Moyes being desperate for a new frontman, it seems as if the Irons don’t want to go any higher with their offer.
In our view, this will be extremely frustrating news for West Ham fans, who are desperate to see a new striker arrive, as is Moyes.
The Daily Mail add comments from the Scot in their report, and quote him as saying: ‘Do I want a top striker? I certainly do, I really do, to help us.’
Elsewhere, the Evening Standard revealed that the Hammers saw an approach for Montpellier striker Gaetan Laborde rejected.
With just days until the transfer window ends, West Ham really need to find their replacement for Sebastien Haller.
Moyes has set the Irons up for a potentially exciting second half of the season, where a place in Europe is definitely achievable.
However, should something happen to Michail Antonio, those European hopes will be severely dented.
Time is of the essence.
It would be a real shame if the east Londoners cannot get a striker over the line, especially seeing as Haller’s exit was confirmed quite early on in the month.
