After making a real statement in the Premier League playing for Everton, Gomes has plenty of top-flight interest.
Especially from West Ham where manager Pelligrini is keen to add to his midfield to replace the ageing Mark Noble.
Everton are yet to make a bid for the player both they and West Ham admire, but according to reports from the Evening Standard, Gomes’ heart is set on returning to Goodison Park to the disappointment of many West Ham fans.
Wherever the Barcelona man ends up, he will add real drive to the team with his forward runs and amazing passing range, assets key to any Premier League side.
The Hammers have reportedly made a second bid in the region of £20 million for the 25-year-old Portuguese international, but only time will tell as to where the midfielder is playing his football next season.
With Barcelona looking to offload Gomes permanently, a loan deal isn’t really an option, bids closer to the £25 million mark may however be taken more seriously.
