According to The Mirror, West Ham United are now expected to make a fresh move to sign Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri.

The Hammers are in the market for a new striker ahead of the transfer deadline having sold Sebastien Haller to Ajax earlier this month.

A whole host of names have been linked with West Ham of late, but En-Nesyri has been a leading name over the last couple of weeks.

The Athletic first reported West Ham’s interest, claiming that a bid worth around £27million had been launched – but ultimately failed.

The Daily Star then claimed that West Ham were willing to increase the total package to £32million, but that was still short of the £35million Sevilla are seeking.

It’s now suggested that West Ham will be launching a new move for En-Nesyri in a desperate attempt to secure a deal ahead of Monday’s deadline.

The Moroccan star has smashed 16 goals in 28 games this season, including eight goals in his last six La Liga games, becoming a sensation for Sevilla.

At 23, En-Nesyri looks set for a big future, and West Ham are now expected to make one final push to make sure that future is with them.
