The Barcelona ace is a reported transfer target for Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United.
Tottenham and West Ham have been put on red alert, with the news that Barcelona are prepared to listen to offers for Andre Gomes in the summer, according to Spanish media outlet AS.
Spurs and the Hammers were locked in a battle to sign the Portugal international in the summer of 2017, according to the Telegraph, but a move away from the Camp Nou subsequently failed to materialise for him.
AS claim that the London rivals will once again do battle for Gomes’ services in the summer.
Who needs the 24-year-old more, though, West Ham or Tottenham?
The obvious answer to that question is the Hammers.
David Moyes has continuously bemoaned the lack of central midfield options available to him at the London Stadium, and with Mark Noble set to turn 31 in May, Gomes would be the ideal candidate to succeed the West Ham skipper.
The Barca ace is technically gifted, and is a wonderful passer of the football. He still has so much to offer at the very highest level, and despite his failure to establish himself with the Catalan giants, he would be a excellent signing for the Hammers.
Spurs, meanwhile, are well stocked in the central midfield area, and should arguably be looking at more ambitious targets this summer.
Barcelona signed Gomes from Valencia in the summer of 2016, for a fee that could rise to €55 million (£48.8 million), according to BBC Sport.
