West Ham United are reportedly planning to make big-money offers for Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse and Sevilla forward Youssef En-Nesyri.

West Ham United are reportedly planning to make big-money offers for Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse and Sevilla forward Youssef En-Nesyri.

Ward-Prowse, who is known to be a dead-ball specialist, has spent his entire career at St Mary's, recording 44 goals and 48 assists in 362 appearances across all competitions.

En-Nesyri, meanwhile, has spent the last two-and-a-half years with La Liga outfit Sevilla, where he has scored 35 goals in 107 appearances across all tournaments.

According to The Mirror, David Moyes is looking to bolster his midfield options following the retirement of club legend Mark Noble, while the long-term futures of Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice are believed to be uncertain.

West Ham have identified Ward-Prowse, 27, as a potential target, although they could face competition from the likes of Newcastle United and Manchester United who have also been credited with an interest.

As for En-Nesyri, West Ham are understood to have had a £27m bid rejected for the forward by Sevilla in January, but the report adds that the Hammers are prepared to reignite their interest in the 25-year-old Morocco international, who is valued by the Spanish side at around £40m.

Since the departure of Sebastien Haller to Ajax in January 2021, Moyes is yet to sign a replacement, with Michail Antonio still the only recognised centre-forward at the club.

West Ham are allegedly close to completing their first signing of the summer window, with Rennes centre-back Nayef Aguerd set to undergo the second part of his medical in London within the next 24 hours.
