According to reports, West Ham are trying hard to sign Andre Gomes from Barcelona. Sky Sports News reports that the Hammers have seen an £18m rejected.
Barcelona want between £25m and £35m for Gomes and are willing to sell at that price. Everton are likely to challenge West Ham for Gomes after his success at Goodison Park last season.
Last summer, Everton signed Gomes on a season-long loan deal. The 25-year-old played regularly in central midfield, producing some classy displays.
Everton are expected to try to make Gomes’ deal permanent. But as the Toffees stall, interest is mounting in East London. West Ham are hoping to win this race.
Gomes has become West Ham’s summer priority. Manuel Pellegrini wants a central midfielder and the Portugal international fits the bill.
After proving his worth in the Premier League, many West Ham fans want the club to pursue this deal. For £25m, the ex-Benfica and Sevilla midfielder could be a snip.
Upon hearing these Gomes rumours, West Ham fans took to Twitter to share their views. Here are some of the best tweets regarding this news.
