West Ham United beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1 on Tuesday evening, with Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio both on the scoresheet.
Antonio again showed why he is West Ham’s leading striker, but he certainly needs more competition following Sebastien Haller’s exit to Ajax.
The Hammers are being linked with a host of strikers to replace Haller, but a deal for Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri seems difficult.
The Athletic reported on Monday that West Ham had made a £27million move for En-Nesyri, but Sevilla look reluctant to sell.
So how did En-Nesyri respond to the speculation hanging over him? He scored within three minutes of last night’s 2-1 win at Alaves.
En-Nesyri showed no signs of the rumours affecting his game, reacting quickly inside the six-yard box to tap home the opening goal.
The Moroccan striker took his tally for the season to 13 goals in 26 games, and it’s now up to West Ham to come up with a suitable offer if they still want him.
The 23-year-old at least showed why West Ham want him, and David Moyes will have surely been impressed with his goalscoring display.
