West Ham United have reportedly made a new bid for Youssef En-Nesyri, and Sevilla have deemed it as acceptable.
That’s according to a report from AS (print edition January 10th, page 19) who claim that Hammers boss David Moyes is very keen to bring the 25-year-old to the London Stadium.
Signing another centre-forward will be vital for Moyes this month, if he is to have any chance of turning things around at the London Stadium.

The Moroccan has been in really poor form over the past 12 months, but he would certainly be a big upgrade on Michail Antonio in my opinion.
And it seems as though it might not be too long before the Moroccan rocks up at the London Stadium…
West Ham make new En-Nesyri bid
AS (print edition January 10th, page 19) reckon that the Hammers have lodged a loan offer for the 25-year-old, with a £22.1 million option to buy him included – one that Sevilla are ‘satisfied’ with.
That doesn’t seem like a bad deal in fairness, in spite of his poor form this season.
If he isn’t good enough for Premier League football, he’ll just be sent back to Sevilla won’t he.
En-Nesyri did score a hat-trick for Sevilla last week as well, so maybe he’s close to returning to his best form.
The Moroccan is a hard-working forward and he’s very strong in the air. So it’s no surprise that Moyes wants to bring him to West Ham.
He will offer strong competition and cover for Gianluca Scamacca and as mentioned earlier, he will be a massive improvement on Antonio.
West Ham have allegedly made a new En-Nesyri bid and Sevilla seem to be open to selling him due to their financial problems. So it might not be too long before we see the Moroccan in a Hammers shirt.
