West Ham United favourites to sign 22-goal striker

West Ham United are reportedly ahead of Manchester United in the race to sign Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri.

The Moroccan has had a superb campaign for Sevilla, netting 22 goals from 45 appearances in all competitions.

His form has caught the eye of numerous elite clubs, but La Razon claims that the Hammers are favourites to sign him.

The London outfit attempted to land his signature in January, but their offer fell short of the £35m valuation from Sevilla.

They are likely to meet the price tag this summer, and are confident of luring him despite the competition from United.

Aside from En-Nesyri, the club have their sights on signing Odsonne Edouard from Celtic. They have made contact with his agents.

The Frenchman has under 15 months left in his Hoops deal. He was valued at £20m last summer, but is now available for half the price.

Edouard has also been linked with Leicester City, but the Foxes are having second thoughts after the renaissance of Kelechi Iheanacho.
