West Ham are reportedly tracking Maxi Gomez, recently linked to Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur could have a decision to make if they are serious about signing Maxi Gomez.

Spurs were linked with a move for Celta Vigo ace Gomez earlier this year by Spanish outlet Diario AS.

Now they may be prompted to make a decision one way or another, with West Ham making a move for the Uruguayan.

Radio Galega in Spain is linking the Hammers with making a bid for Gomez, and that Vigo want £35 million to consider a sale.

Gomez is an exciting young forward who has traits of Luis Suarez in his game, picking up 12 yellow cards to go with his 17 goals for Celta Vigo last season.

At just 21-years-old he is a rising star, and West Ham would be fortunate to get him.

For Tottenham he would be ideal too, a perfect foil for Harry Kane, able to play back-up and rotate with the England and Spurs striker.

He would have potentially huge resale potential at just 21, and be a braver addition than sticking with Fernando Llorente.

If Tottenham continue to remain laid back about Gomez, they risk missing out altogether, and worst of all, they could be facing him for rivals West Ham next season.

Just maybe, they will reassess and now follow up their interest.
