West Ham United transfer news as talks intensify to sign Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri.

Talks have intensified between West Ham and Sevilla over the potential transfer of Youssef En-Nesyri this summer, according to El Desmarque.

The Spanish media outlet reported on Tuesday evening (22 August) that the negotiations were taken up a few notches in the past few hours.The Hammers are keen on signing the 26-year-old striker who represented Morocco at the World Cup in Qatar last year.

The Hammers look to be making progress in order to secure the services of the striker who’s been on their radar for a while.

In the last two summer transfer windows, David Moyes has been linked with the Moroccan and it seems like he’s finally getting closer to securing his services.Sevilla are in a financial pickle so they’ll be open to cashing in, especially if the striker tells them that he wants to leave.

With Gianluca Scamacca having left and Michail Antonio with one foot out of the door, a quality striker has to be among the priorities in the coming days.

En-Nesyri would fit the bill perfectly for the Hammers as he’s a tall striker who’s good in the air and clinical in front of goal.

He can pose a great set-piece threat as well with James Ward-Prowse, among the league’s dead-ball specialists creating chances on a plate for him.

Nottingham Forest defender Omar Richards is reportedly set to sign for Olympiacos on loan as he continues his recovery from injury.

Richards was able to join in with some training during pre-season, but did not play any minutes in any of the friendlies due to ‘little knocks.’ He has not been included in the matchday squad for either of Forest’s Premier League matches so far this season.

A temporary move away from the City Ground is now being used as a tool to help the player continue his recovery. According to The Telegraph’s John Percy , the full-back is expected to sign for Olympiacos on loan for the season.

If a move goes through he will be the second Forest player to complete a temporary move to the club owned by Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis. Midfielder Gustavo Scarpa completed a loan move to Greece last week.

Speaking about the player earlier this month, Cooper said that the club were working with him in order to try and build his fitness up ahead of his return to action.

“With him being out for so long, getting back up to the demands of a Premier League training environment means he has just got to get his body robust enough,” he said. “Unfortunately, once he gets to a certain level, he keeps getting little knocks and niggles that keep him out for another week or two weeks. He’s continuing to go through that.
