West Ham keen on Brazilian midfielder Igor Gomes

West Ham United are interested in signing the Brazilian wonderkid Igor Gomes.

According to reports via the Sun, the 22-year-old playmaker is on the London club’s radar as an alternative to Jesse Lingard.

The Manchester United player was on loan at West Ham this past year and he was highly impressive for David Moyes’ side.

The Hammers are thought to be keen on signing him permanently but the player wants to secure a place in the Manchester United line-up next season.

The Premier League side now view Gomes as the ideal alternative and the Brazilian playmaker could cost around £13 million this summer.
