Liverpool and Manchester United are keeping tabs on Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri, according to reports in the Spanish media.
West Ham are believed to be frontrunners for the Moroccan international, having previously had a bid knocked back in the January transfer window, but it seems they may have competition from the Reds.
Supporters on Twitter have been debating whether En-Nesyri would be the right target if the Merseyside club do go after a striker in the summer:

Good striker.— Luis Enrique (@leab_09) April 22, 2021
Useless striker, would be a nonsensical move.
Player is a waste , unless we want another Andy Carroll then pass— SON_of_AFRICA (@Cobby_Ing_Jr) April 22, 2021
Watch him first bfore you think he’s Carroll or Benteke type. Bet you guys still think CR plays as winger.

Reports suggest that En-Nesyri could break Sevilla’s record for a transfer fee received, with a valuation set at £40m, but we shall see if a team is prepared to pay that much for the forward.
En-Nesyri has been in excellent form, having scored 23 goals in 46 appearances, but there is a feeling that he could be a one-season wonder, having failed to score more than nine league goals in a single campaign until this year.
