Report: Irons back in talks for Gomez
The £40m-rated Uruguay international is seen as a replacement for Marko Arnautovic who is still determined to leave.
However, although there could be a U turn closer to transfer deadline day by the Spaniards, at the moment they are demanding £40 million for the player who is seen as a Marko Arnautovic the replacement.
With just a week left of the current window the signing rests on the complicated scenario of Arnie being sold and the finances assured to bring in Gomez which may be more than a little tricky to organise in such a limited time period.
And it becomes even more complex given that the Irons are determined to sit things out as they are currently sitting out a possible new bid from China for the Austrian.
The Mail reports the Hammers first showed an interest in Gomez back in the summer but were unwilling then to pay £40 million given that Felipe Anderson was their priority signing.
There is the added problem of the Spanish club’s league position as they sit just a point above the relegation zone and may be unready to agree a deal at such a critical time.
