West Ham have reportedly made Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez their top priority ahead of the summer transfer window.
According to reports on Football Espana, who cite claims made by football.london, the Hammers will once again launch a move for the player at the end of the season.
Gomez was heavily linked with a move to West Ham both in the last summer window and during the most recent January transfer window.
With the player boasting a €50 million release clause, the two teams were unable to reach an agreement but West Ham could swoop in for a cut-price deal if Celta are relegated this season.
Currently sitting in 18th place in La Liga, Gomez’s release clause will half down to €25 million should they go down.
Gomez has scored 10 league goals for Celta this season and has been one of the more impressive La Liga forwards in recent years.
Marko Arnautovic’s future is likely to be a subject of debate over the summer and West Ham are clearly keen to get a replacement lined up.
