Everton and West Ham United are both battling it out to sign Andre Gomes.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Barcelona are becoming impatient with Everton, as they look to sell West Ham United target Andre Gomes.

West Ham and Everton have been battling to sign Gomes for much of the summer so far, and it seemed that Marco Silva’s side had won out.

Everton had Gomes on loan last season and he seriously impressed on Merseyside, with Silva making no secret of his desire to snap up the central midfielder.

It was recently reported by the Daily Star that Gomes had told friends he was moving to Everton instead of West Ham.

However, the Echo refutes these claims and offers West Ham hope that they can still snap up the £30 million man.

Gomes is said to have not yet made up his mind, and Manuel Pellegrini is desperate to convince the 25-year-old that the London Stadium is right for him.

West Ham have already made two bids for Gomes, which is more than what Everton have done.

Barca are keen to get Gomes off their books, as they want to raise funds for their own transfer plans.

And if the transfer saga continues to drag on, West Ham may reportedly still have a chance to land the impressive central midfielder this summer.
