West Ham have made headway in their hopes of signing Celta de Vigo striker Maxi Gómez and local media outlets claim that the Uruguay international is 'on course' to move to London Stadium imminently.
The Hammers have been long-term admirers of Gómez and even tried to approach the 22-year-old during the summer, but their valuation was well below the €50m release clause which Celta were demanding be met.
Although West Ham still aren't willing to match Gómez's release clause, Galicia Press claim that a deal in the region of €46m (£40m) could be announced within 'a matter of hours' by Manuel Pellegrini's side as they look to sign a long-term replacement for Marko Arnautoviu0107.
