Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo claim that Sevilla are ‘willing to listen to offers’ for Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri – amid long-standing interest from West Ham, as well as London rivals Arsenal.
En-Nesyri, 25, endured a difficult 2021-22 campaign. Numerous injuries, COVID and then representing Morocco at the African Cup of Nations disrupted his season with Sevilla. He scored just five goals in 29 games.

But when he is firing on all cylinders, Sevilla know what he is capable of. During the 2020-21 season, he scored 24 goals for Julen Lopetegui’s side. Reports say Arsenal and West Ham are keen, with Edu tracking him since 2020.
In what is a boost to both clubs, MD now report that Sevilla will listen to offers for En-Nesyri. Sevilla did not accept £26million from West Ham last summer but the report suggests that might more acceptable now.
Sevilla to listen to En-Nesyri offers amid Arsenal and West Ham interest
Arsenal and West Ham both need a striker. West Ham desperately need competition for Michail Antonio, with Davis Moyes surely eyeing the chance to win the Europa Conference League.
Antonio is now 32 and the Hammers will need a long-term replacement. En-Nesyri is perfect, despite his form last season. The way he plays, though, you would not suggest he is suited to Arsenal’s style.
However, his hold-up play would bring the likes of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Emile Smith-Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli into the game more. He could be just what they need, although different to normal.
