West Ham United ‘hope to be able to secure’ a Tottenham Hotspur target on a pre-contract now to ensure he heads to the London Stadium in the summer.

Now with Graham Potter at the helm and with technical director Tim Steidten departing, it is all change at West Ham.

Potter has been critical about West Ham rushing into transfer deals and he is expected to demand a more considered and longer term approach from the Hammers.

Now West Ham have joined Tottenham in being keen on landing Lille midfielder Angel Gomes, who is into the final six months of his contract in France.

Tottenham want Gomes now, but West Ham are eyeing him for the summer, according to French sports daily L’Equipe.

West Ham ‘hope to be able to secure’ Gomes on a pre-contractual agreement.

Lille do not want to let players go in what remains of the winter transfer window, making Spurs’ task of getting a deal done now tough.

If Spurs do manage to achieve a breakthrough then for the midfielder, who came through the youth ranks at Manchester United, all eyes will be on whether West Ham bring forward their plans.

Gomes has been capped by England after shining with his displays in French football; he joined Lille in 2020.
