# West Ham United: David Moyes eyeing Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri

**According to a report by [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/juve-concorrenza-dalla-premier-per-un-attaccante-95007), as also shared and translated by [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/west-ham-expected-return-january-target-summer-now-face-competition-european-elite/), West Ham United and David Moyes have rekindled their interest in Sevilla powerhouse Youssef En-Nesyri – but Serie A giants Juventus have now entered the fray and could provide signing competition.**

### West Ham eyeing En-Nesyri

As well as the Old Lady, ‘several’ Premier League clubs are now keen on En-Nesyri according to the Italian news outlet, coming after manager Moyes confirmed a bid to sign him in January ([Claret & Hugh](https://www.claretandhugh.info/moyes-confirms-transfer-bid/)).

Indeed, West Ham were very publicly chasing the 6 foot 3 powerhouse and journalist [David Ornstein of the Athletic](https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1352186048667901953) revealed exactly why a move fell through for En-Nesyri.

He explained that GSB’s formal offer of[€25 million plus €5 million in add-ons (£21.4m plus £4.2m)](https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1352186048667901953) was not enough to convince Sevilla over a sale, but Calciomercato provide the latest and reveal that Moyes and West Ham still hold an interest and could return in the summer.

### Transfer Tavern take

However, as Juventus now harbour intrigue, as well as ‘several’ Premier League sides, West Ham may now face a battle to sign En-Nesyri as the club continue to eye potential replacements for Sebastien Haller.

Spanish journalist Guillem Balague has made no secret of the player’s quality, calling him ‘[excellent](https://twitter.com/PremierSportsTV/status/1352682071198748680)‘ in an interview with Premier Sports, and that theory is supported by his noteworthy 20 goals in all competitions over 2020/2021 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/youssef-en-nesyri/leistungsdaten/spieler/433049)).

Time will tell whether the Irons will be able to snap up En-Nesyri after failed attempts in January, but it will certainly be an interesting development to watch at the end of the season.
