West Ham believe they can beat Everton to the signing of Maxime Gonalons, according to the Express.

The Hammers have been linked with a summer move for the Roma midfielder, as Manuel Pellegrini continues to search for high quality reinforcements.

Roma are thought to be willing to listen to offers for the 30-year-old Frenchman, in order to ease their wage bill.

West Ham aren’t alone in expressing an interest, however, with Everton also weighing up a potential move.

Despite that, the Hammers are confident of beating the Toffees to Gonalons’ signature.

It would make him the club’s fourth arrival of the summer already, should a move come to fruition.

Roberto, David Martin and Pablo Fornals have already been brought in since last season came to an end, as West Ham look to kick on in 2019/20.

Gonalons has been at Roma since 2017, but spent last season on loan at Sevilla, where he generally disappointed.
