West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui seems to be intent on signing a proven striker this summer.
It was claimed earlier this summer that West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui was prioritising the addition of a new centre-forward.
The Spaniard first moved to sign right winger Luis Guilherme – an 18-year-old from Brazil, but now he needs to bring some more proven quality to the London Stadium.
Youssef En-Nesyri has been firmly on the Hammers’ radar this summer, and Sevilla are desperate to sell him before the end of the month in order to avoid financial sanctions.
The Sevilla hitman has been linked with a move to West Ham pretty much every single summer and January window over the past three years.
He played under Lopetegui during the West Ham manager’s time in charge of the La Liga outfit, so the gaffer knows him very well indeed.
Now Lopetegui needs to go all out to bring him to the London Stadium this summer, in order to complete his attacking lineup for next season.
