Youssef En-Nesyri is once again drawing attention from the Premier League, with Fulham emerging as the latest English club seeking to sign the Moroccan striker ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
Reports from the Turkish media indicate that Fulham have already made contact with Turkish giants Fenerbahçe regarding a potential move for the 26-year-old forward.
The Premier League side, currently sitting 11th in the table, is looking to bolster its attacking options following a season marked by underwhelming performances and injury concerns within their forward line.
Raúl Jiménez’s advancing age, Carlos Vinícius’ inconsistent form, and recurring fitness issues for Rodrigo Muniz have reportedly prompted Fulham’s management to intensify efforts to bring in a more reliable goalscorer.
En-Nesyri, with his proven track record, has quickly emerged as a key target.
Despite enjoying a productive season with Fenerbahçe, where he has netted 27 goals and registered six assists across all competitions, the Moroccan international has faced criticism from sections of the Turkish press and fanbase.
This scrutiny, according to reports, has led En-Nesyri to contemplate a departure from the Istanbul club, where his contract runs until June 2029.
Fulham are not alone in their pursuit. London rivals West Ham United are also closely monitoring En-Nesyri’s situation.
Turkish outlet ISCI Haber claims that West Ham view the striker as a prime candidate to strengthen their squad, especially with the belief that he is no longer a part of Fenerbahçe coach José Mourinho’s long-term plans.
This is not the first time the Hammers have attempted to bring En-Nesyri to England.
Previous efforts in 2021 and again in 2024 reportedly fell through, with negotiations failing to produce an agreement.
However, the player’s apparent desire for a new challenge could tilt the scales in their favour this time around.
En-Nesyri’s consistent goal-scoring form continues to make him an attractive option on the European market.
With both Fulham and West Ham keen to add firepower ahead of next season, the Moroccan international may finally make the switch to the Premier League after years of speculation.
As the summer transfer window approaches, interest in the Fenerbahçe forward is expected to intensify, with the coming weeks likely to determine where En-Nesyri will play his football next season.
