West Ham United and Aston Villa are in competition over player acquisitions this summer, both targeting Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri and Torino defender Raoul Bellanova. While Villa’s interest in En-Nesyri poses a challenge to West Ham due to Villa’s financial capability and Champions League participation next season, the Hammers are responding by moving to potentially hijack Villa’s pursuit of Bellanova. En-Nesyri is seen as an essential addition for West Ham and would ideally replace Michail Antonio. Meanwhile, Bellanova, known for his modern full-back capabilities, could significantly enhance West Ham’s side with his dynamism and defensive skills.
