According to reports, West Ham United is in negotiations to sign Inter Miami star in a swap deal, an MLS team, for 21-year-old Paraguayan midfielder Diego Gomez.

A report from the Paraguayan publication Versus claims that West Ham United is interested in Diego Gomez. The 21-year-old Inter Miami midfielder is being discussed by the Hammers as a potential addition. Additionally, during the summer transfer window, the young player is probably going to depart the MLS team and join the Premier League.

One of the top young players in the MLS is Diego Gomez. His early years were spent in his birthplace San Juan Bautista, where he graduated a few years ago from the Libertad youth division. The Paraguayan international, nevertheless, has become more well-known since signing with Inter Miami in the summer.

The 21-year-old, who plays with Lionel Messi on a team full of stars, has been a mainstay for Inter Miami this season and is one of the MLS upstart’s bright spots. Gomez has made 13 appearances in all competitions, contributing three goals and three assists.

Meanwhile, the young player’s development has not gone unnoticed, drawing interest from renowned European clubs. According to the source, he is in talks to join with West Ham United from Inter Miami during the summer transfer window, suggesting that a move to the continent may be imminent.

Perfect Move For West Ham

It seems sense that West Ham United would be interested in Diego Gomez. In light of the most recent developments in Lucas Paqueta’s betting scandal, the Hammers are searching the market for a midfield player as the summer transfer window approaches.

Furthermore, Tomas Soucek’s future at the London Stadium is unknown. Thus, a number of prospects—among them Arthur Melo—have come to the attention of West Ham United. Gomez, though, is also a prospective target; the East London team is in talks with MLS team Inter Miami about a potential summer transfer for the 21-year-old.

Therefore, after spending the last 12 months around Lionel Messi and other big-name players, Gomez’s stint at Inter Miami is probably coming to an end after just a year. It will be intriguing to watch if West Ham can get his services in the next few days and effectively wrap up negotiations.
