# Andre Gomes said to be keen on West Ham loan move

Adding a central midfielder before the transfer window closes this evening is something West Ham are desperate to do, whether they will remains to be seen.

Andre Gomes is a reported target for the Hammers as they look to solve their midfield problem. West Ham met with the player’s representatives on Monday to sound out his interest in a loan move and are currently discussing the terms of the loan with Barcelona, who are keen to offload him.

Gomes signed for [Barcelona](https://readlaliga.com/) last summer from [Valencia](https://readlaliga.com/) in a £31.5m deal but the Portugal international only started 17 [La Liga](https://readlaliga.com/) games last term and failed to impress

Tottenham have also been linked with Gomes but they have cooled their interest, paving the way for a loan switch to East London.

It’s believed that Gomes is [leaning towards a move to West Ham](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4838512/Transfer-deadline-day-LIVE-Liverpool-Manchester-City.html) so he can team up with international teammate and friend Jose Fonte. Barcelona would like to bring in another midfielder to replace him. The Spanish transfer deadline is tomorrow evening.
