ESPN: West Ham want Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes
The Premier League team hope to be busy on Thursday
The transfer window closes in England a day earlier than in Spain
West Ham are preparing an ambitious move for Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes on Thursday, according to ESPN.
Sources close to the club told ESPN that the London side are keen to land the Portugal international before the transfer window closes in England at midnight on Thursday.
The Hammers, who have also shown an interest in William Carvalho, have changed direction, targetting Gomes, who is not in new Barça coach Ernesto Valverde's plans.
Gomes, 24, started 17 league games last season and has only made one appearance so far this year, the second leg of the Super Cup against Real Madrid.
Juventus have also shown an interest in Gomes, but West Ham hope to lure him to the Premier League.
