Youssef En-Nesyri to pick Aston Villa over West Ham amid transfer news from Spain
Bryan King believes Youssef En-Nesyri would favour a move to Aston Villa over West Ham United.
The ex-Villa scout feels that there is “no choice” to make when it comes to the two clubs.
It comes after Vamos Mi Sevilla reported (29 May) that Villa are set to rival the Hammers for En-Nesyri’s signature.
And King – speaking exclusively to Villa News – feels that En-Nesyri could help take Villa to the next level.
“The player will be much more attracted to Villa than West Ham, without a doubt,” King said.
“Villa are in the Champions League, this would be an ideal move for him.
“If it is between Villa and West Ham, then there is no choice.
“For Villa, they need this type of signing to go to the next level.”
Youssef En-Nesyri would be a statement signing for Unai Emery at Aston Villa
This is where the Champions League can make a difference.
The ability to offer a player elite European football gives Villa a big advantage over their Premier League rivals.
And the signing of En-Nesyri would certainly be an exciting one.
Other than Ollie Watkins, there is a real lack of striking options at Villa Park.
En-Nesyri scored 16 La Liga goals last season and netted twice in the Champions League.
That experience could prove vital for Villa in the competition next season.
