Newcastle United have made a call to sign long time West Ham United transfer target Youssef En-Nesyri.

According to Vamos Mi Sevilla FC, Sevilla are prepared to sell West Ham target Youssef En-Nesyri for €50 million (£43 million), and Newcastle could be willing to pay that amount for the Moroccan.

It was recently claimed that the East London outfit are prioritising a move to bring the 26-year-old striker to the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.

Hammers boss David Moyes undoubtedly needs to sign a new striker before the start of the new season. Michail Antonio, Danny Ings and Gianluca Scamacca all face uncertain futures at the London Stadium.

It would be no surprise to see the Scot go back in for En-Nesyri, although Newcastle appear to be ready to strike. However, losing out on the Morocco international to the Magpies might not be the worst thing in the world…

West Ham could be saved from big error as Newcastle call to sign Youssef En-Nesyri

Vamos Mi Sevilla FC reckon that the Toon could swoop in and sign the Sevilla forward this summer.

I say that’s great news from the Hammers and Newcastle could end up saving us from making a big mistake.

The striker scored just eight goals in 31 La Liga games for Sevilla this season just gone. He only scored five in 29 in the 2021/22 campaign as well (Transfermarkt).

He was really bad during the two games that we had against Sevilla in the Europa League the season before last.

And the 26-year-old just doesn’t have the raw attributes needed to succeed in the ferociously paced Premier League – he just seems somewhat lightweight to me.

He quite simply hasn’t produced the goods for Sevilla over the past two seasons.

So if Newcastle really do want to sign Youssef En-Nesyri this summer, I believe they will be doing West Ham a big favour.

The Moroccan is not the man for the job at the London Stadium in my opinion. Moyes should be targeting someone with more strength, height, pace and power this summer, as far as I’m concerned.

There are plenty of strikers out there who are far better suited to the way in which West Ham play as far as I’m concerned.
