West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui seems to be intent on signing a proven striker this summer.
Earlier in the summer, rumors circulated that West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui was giving the acquisition of a new center-forward a priority.
The 18-year-old Brazilian right winger Luis Guilherme was initially signed by the Spaniard, but he now needs to provide more talent to the London Stadium.
This summer, Youssef En-Nesyri has been a top target for the Hammers, and Sevilla is keen to offload him before the end of the month to avoid facing financial penalties.
Over the previous three years, the Sevilla striker has been connected to a move to West Ham virtually every summer and January transfer window.
He was a player under Lopetegui when the West Ham boss was leading the La Liga team, so the manager has a great deal of familiarity with him.
With 73 goals in 196 games for Sevilla, En-Nesyri has scored more goals than a goal every three games.
In order to complete his attacking lineup for the upcoming season, Lopetegui must now make every effort to bring him to the London Stadium this summer.
The most recent information on West Ham’s pursuit of En-Nesyri is extremely encouraging.

The ideal acquisition for Lopetegui
With his skill in the air, his capacity to occupy opposing defenders, and his ability to finish, En-Nesyri is ideal for Lopetegui’s approach.
This summer, he might be available for just £21 million as well; for the Hammers, this is a no-brainer.
With this, I would like to offer West Ham a small critique: what are the owners and transfer team waiting for?
The Hammers are in desperate need of a new striker, and En-Nesyri would be the ideal addition.
It shouldn’t be too difficult to close a deal if Julen Lopetegui is sincere about wanting to bring the Morocco international to West Ham this summer.
