Andre Gomes transfer: West Ham wonderkid key to beating Arsenal in race for £48m Barcelona midfielder

The Portuguese playmaker, 25, looks certain to leave the Camp Nou two years after joining from Valencia in a deal worth up to £48m

West Ham wonderkid could be the club's trump card in the race to sign Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes.

The Irons face competition from Arsenal for the Portuguese playmaker's signature - but they have an ace up their sleeve in the form of 18-year-old Domingos Quina.


Quina, an exciting winger signed from the Chelsea academy in 2016, has been on the Catalan giants' radar for some time, reports football.london.

And according to Mundo Deportivo , Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini could offer the Portuguese youngster - who previously spent time in Benfica's academy - as a makeweight in a deal for Gomes.

We’re close to signing Lucas Perez. Not a bad signing as a back-up.

Lucasz ;hmm

Still no CDM? ;whistle

I’m not sure we need to worry about the Construction, Design and Management regulations 2015. But I will take a look if you want.

IronHerb

Suze, don't do it. I mean really don't do it.

McHammer

Israeli press linking us with striker Moanes Dabour.

Lukerz

Adama Traore is going to Wolves for £10m, potentially rising to £20m. Newcastle signing Rondon on a season long loan, Gayle going the other way.

Lukerz

Obiang staying according to Sky. Sampdoria won’t go above £9m and we want at least £11m to consider selling. Deal off currently.

OldCastleSwift

Good.

Can't believe we were even considering it, TBH.

Lukerz

Perez close to signing for a bargain £4m, according to various reports.

Yeoldhammer

Lucas Perez for 4m from Arsenal according to "Matt Lawless" I guess Hugill will be out the door if this happens. A good third choice striker.

-Bring in a quality CM/DM and we will look the business.
Hopefully the Maia deal comes off.

Yeoldhammer

GK - Adrian / Fabianski

LB - Byram / Fredericks / Zabaleta

CB - Balbuena / Diop / Ogbonna / Reid

RB - Cresswell / Masuaku

CM / DM - Obiang / Wilshire / Noble

LM + RM - Snodgrass / Antonio / Anderson / Yarmalenko

AM - Lanzini

Striker - Arnautovic / Hernandez / Hugill / Carroll



Rice - DM or CB (not sure which position Pellegrini sees him yet)

McHammer

Football London reporting Perez is a done deal.

Well the headline suggests that then the article says "according to reports"

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Perez is more of a winger than a striker right

Does that mean Antonio may still be out the door, or is he coming in to cover for up front

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Also heard sead may be off to Malaga on loan

No view to buy though which hints he may have a future here which i like

Lukerz

I wonder if Pelle is genuinely looking to field this side regularly at home, with a more 4-3-3 for the tougher fixtures? Could we actually pull that side off without letting in a load of goals?

Fabianski
Fredericks - Diop - Ogbonna - Masuaku

Adrian, Balbuena, Cresswell, Rice, Obiang, Antonio, Perez

Fabianski ;hmm flaps a bit
Adrian better me thinks

Vorselaarhammer

How weird is this 2nd highest spender.... and still spent only half of Liverpool

thornburyiron

Bernard going to Everton so that's one off the "list".

Vorselaarhammer

now we know why we have London on the badge.... transfer planning...

Perez' agent: "West Ham want him and they have made an offer. It is an option. Lucas wants to play regularly and West Ham is an option. There are other clubs but West Ham would allow him to continue in London and Lucas wants to continue in London."

No excuses now if we don't get the defensive midfielder we need!

Apologises to all, I should have kept my feelings to myself. ;doh

Rubbish fortune, say ,,, it’s up mods, then us coyi

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

So Palace and Everton pulled off coups with free transfers for meyer and Bernard respeictively

Id love to know how much they got for a singing on fee and what they are making each week (given both put off bigger teams apparantly with their wage demands)

Bazshuayi

Their demands have been mentioned regularly (Meyer in an article on BBC website a while back I think and Bernards wage demands have accompanied every rumour about him). I'm happy we didn't get either of them if it means we struggled FFP wise.

If we get Perez for 4M I'd be happy. She was great as a dance on Soul Train too ;wink

jay_in_cpt

I see we are now being linked with Carlos Sanchez as our new defensive midfielder, Please NO....
IMHO he is below average at best.

ianbishoplegend

Perez looks lovely in his 15/16 YouTube highlights. I didn’t know who he was until today, but he’s close to being my favorite player.

Lukerz

Perez is a shrewd bit of business & the sort of signing we've missed out on in the past. Hungry to play, still determined to prove himself in the PL, plays as a wide forward to a striker. Would be happy with that signing for the rumoured £4m-£10m range. He'll give us another wide option (assuming one of Antonio or Snodgrass will depart before Thursday, hopefully the latter) & also provide cover for Arnie & Hernandez, or possibly partner one of them in a two. He did flop at Arsenal (was only giving 11 appearances to prove himself & most of those were sub cameos) but his record everywhere else is good, including last season where he started to find his scoring boots again.

I would personally prefer us to sign another out of favour forward from Arsenal in Welbeck, think he could do a good job for us.
