West Ham have reportedly made a £27million bid for Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri as they search for a replacement for Sebastien Haller.

According to The Athletic, the offer was submitted over the weekend and is made up of an initial £22.5m fee with £4.5m in add-ons. 

It is claimed the initial offer was rejected by the Spanish club but West Ham remain confident a deal can be done this month and are continuing talks.

David Moyes only has Michail Antonio as a realistic option up front after Haller, their £45m record signing, left for Ajax in a £22m deal earlier this month.


Antonio scored the winner in Saturday's victory over Burnley but has missed several games this season through injury. 

En-Nesyri joined Sevilla for £18m from fellow La Liga side Leganes only 12 months ago and he has scored 18 goals in 51 appearances.

He signed a five-and-a-half-year deal back then but that has not put the Hammers off in their pursuit of the Morocco international.

The 23-year-old came through the youth ranks at Malaga before leaving for Leganes in the summer of 2018.

It was there he caught the eye of some of Spain's top clubs and made the move to Seville last year, helping them to win the Europa League.

En-Nesyri has featured in every single La Liga game and Champions League game for Sevilla so far this season.

He is in impressive form, netting a hat-trick in a win over Real Sociedad earlier this month. 

En-Nesyri also netted four times in the Champions League group stage, helping Sevilla into the last-16 where they will take on Borussia Dortmund.  

The Hammers have also been linked with Real Madrid's out-of-favour striker Mariano Diaz, as well as Josh King of Bournemouth and Abdallah Sima from Slavia Prague.
