Exclusive: £55m Striker Duo ‘Want West Ham Move’ After Kilman Agreement
West Ham United have been boosted in their hopes of landing a new striker as Sevilla star Youssef En-Nesyri and Braga marksman Simon Banza are interested in completing a switch to the London Stadium ahead of the new Premier League season, GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed.
Although the Hammers have moved to within touching distance of bolstering their backline, thanks to agreeing a £40million deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers central defender Max Kilman earlier this week, head coach Julen Lopetegui is aiming to make further alterations to the squad he inherited from predecessor David Moyes.
Wes Foderingham and Luis Guilherme have already completed moves to West Ham, with the latter joining in a £25million switch from Brazilian giants Palmeiras, but technical director Tim Steidten has been tasked with negotiating further transfers ahead of the summer window’s August 30 deadline.
West Ham have secured another boost in the aftermath of convincing Wolves to cash in on Kilman as the east Londoners have been given indications that En-Nesyri and Banza want to head to the capital, according to GMS sources, and they could be the subject of formal offers in the coming weeks.
The Hammers have been heavily reliant on Michail Antonio in the lone striker role, with the 32-year-old going on to score 82 goals over the course of his time at the club, but Lopetegui is desperate to bring in fresh competition ahead of the campaign getting underway with a clash against Aston Villa on August 17.
