West Ham Close to £21.5M Deal for Sevilla Striker Youssef En-Nesyri

West Ham United and Sevilla FC are said to have finally reached an agreement on the transfer fee for Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri. His departure from the Andalusian club is now just a matter of days.

Almost nothing is preventing the Moroccan international Youssef En-Nesyri from joining the Hammers, according to Todofichajes, which claims that the two clubs have finally agreed on a transfer fee of 25 million euros (21.5 million pounds sterling) for the Atlas Lion. A price well below the 45 or 30 million euros set by Sevilla FC.

The English club is looking for a player of Youssef En-Nesyri’s caliber to strengthen its squad, and the Moroccan player has nothing against the possibility of making this new move to England.

At 25 years old, the Moroccan striker has experienced moments of glory with Sevilla, often saving the club. But this past season, repeated injuries have forced the player to remain on the bench. He has scored only five times in 29 appearances in all competitions, compared to the previous season where he scored 24 goals in 52 matches, including 18 in La Liga.

Barring last-minute changes, Youssef En-Nesyri will wear the West Ham jersey starting this summer, where he would join his compatriot Nayef Aguerd.
