Sport nationWest Ham’s hunt for a striker has taken a surprising turn as their top target, Youssef En-Nesyri, grows frustrated with the club’s lack of progress. The Moroccan forward has rejected moves to the London Stadium twice before, but with Julen Lopetegui now at the helm, there was hope that he might be convinced to join the Hammers this time around.
However, according to Graeme Bailey, En-Nesyri is getting annoyed with the lack of movement from West Ham and could look elsewhere. Bailey told Hammers News, “I would not rule out Broja, same with Calvert-Lewin and En-Nesyri, although he is getting annoyed about the lack of progress and could go elsewhere.”
Furthermore, En-Nesyri has reportedly rejected a move to Fenerbahçe, managed by Jose Mourinho, who admired him during his time at Roma. Despite this, West Ham still risks losing out on the striker as Saudi Arabian side Al-Qadsiah is close to agreeing personal terms with him.
While it’s frustrating to see En-Nesyri potentially slip away, West Ham has other targets in mind. The club’s failure to sign a striker in the next few weeks might become a concern, but for now, it’s just a minor setback.

West Ham’s pursuit of a striker continues to be a saga, with twists and turns that keep fans on the edge of their seats. Will they finally land their top target, or will En-Nesyri’s frustration lead him elsewhere? Only time will tell.
