Report: West Ham pursue double Celta Vigo swoop

Italian Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claims that West Ham hopes to conclude not one but two deals with Celta Vigo worth a combined £53.5m!

He reports on his own website that West Ham is negotiating with Celta Vigo in an attempt to bring Stanislav Lobotka and Maxi Gomez to the London Stadium for around 60 million Euros.

Lobotka is described as a player as similar to Luka Modric  The Slovakian is very similar to the Croatian in terms of their style of play. The 24-year-old controls the movement of entire Celta’s midfield and attack. He has got great concentration on the game which keeps him alert in any situation. He is the unsung hero of the team. He showed a lot of quality while playing for his country in the UEFA Nations League games earlier this season. He averaged a passing accuracy of 94.4% while playing for Slovakia in the Nations League.

Lobotka has been linked with a move to PSG Dortmund, Spurs, Napoli & Zenit St Petersburg in the past.

  1. How I would love this to be true but this is West Ham and we’re a bit tight so I guess it’s just a dream .

  2. Would be good but can’t see it not for that money ..not being funny but how true is this hugh or is it just another ,well we tried ploy , ?

  3. They’re so good Celta were nearly relegated 🤷🏻‍♂️

    • That’s what I thought, his stats don’t suggest a Modric if this is true I imagine it means one of our better players will be sold.

  4. I agree Mark in fact I am fed up with speculation hopes up then down, I not gonna expect anything or anyone until we Sign them .

  5. Are we still flogging the Gomez transfer?
    I thought the club had moved on from him weeks ago, this reminds me of the Carlos Bacca waste of a transfer window

  6. As a Hammers fan living in Valencia, I thought I’d let you know about an article I read in a sports newspaper on Friday. It said that Valencia were planning a swap deal with Celta Vigo. In exchange for Maxi Gomez they would be sending Santa Mina back to Celta Vigo. The story even had a quote from Santa Mina saying that he’d rather go back to Celta Vigo and get some game time than be considered the fourth choice striker for Valencia. Meanwhile on Maxi Gomez’s twitter account he mentioned enjoying a meal with some friends and he used a moticon of a paella, which is a very valencian dish and has therefore got the local fans very excited about him arriving here pretty soon!
