West Ham exploring transfer for Lorient striker Terem Moffi after being snubbed by Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri


WEST HAM are exploring a move for Lorient striker Terem Moffi after being snubbed by Sevilla forward Youssef En-Nesyri.

David Moyes is hopeful of adding more attacking talent this month after a poor start to the season.

The Hammers revived long-term interest in En-Nesyri, but the Morocco international is not keen on a move to the London Stadium.

Sevilla, who West Ham knocked out of the Europa League last season, are currently 17th in La Liga.

En-Nesyri, 25, said: “I want to focus only on Sevilla.

“It’s not a matter of money. I want to help the team in the worst moments.”

The striker’s decision has caused the Hammers to pursue other targets, with discussions over a move for Moffi being held.

Prem rivals Southampton have already seen a bid of £10.6million, with a further £7.1million in add-ons, rejected by the Ligue 1 club.

Lorient are holding out for around £25million, which could be a hurdle for the Hammers forking out almost £170million during the summer window.

Only Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have scored more than Moffi’s ten goals in Ligue 1 this season.
