Tottenham hold talks with midfielder and it has West Ham worried
West Ham fear that they will miss out on two of their transfer targets, who are also on Tottenham’s radar after the Lilywhites initiated talks with one of those players.
Angel Gomes and Jonathan David look set to be among the most hotly contested players of the summer transfer window as the pair edge closer to the end of their Lille contract.
Some reports over recent weeks have claimed that Spurs have already reached out to Gomes regarding a free transfer at the end of the season. However, Tottenham are expected to face competition from West Ham for Angel Gomes’s signature.
Meanwhile, Spurs have also reportedly explored a move for David, who is thought to be on the radars of several clubs across Europe.
West Ham are not optimistic about signing Lille pair
Tottenham Hotspur’s hopes of landing Gomes and David have now been boosted as GiveMeSport now claim that West Ham are not confident of beating the Lilywhites and others to the pair’s signature.
Even though Graham Potter has made it clear to the Hammers hierarchy that he wants to lure the Lille duo to the London Stadium, the club hierarchy are fearful that they will miss out on them.
The East London club are ‘struggling’ to win the race for the midfielder and striker, and so far, their efforts to agree to a pre-contract agreement with the two players have proven unsuccessful.
Tottenham are advancing towards Angel Gomes but not Jonathan David
GiveMeSport point out that West Ham’s biggest challengers for Gomes’ signature come from Tottenham, confirming that the Lilywhitss have held talks with the midfielder.
As things stand, West Ham are facing an ‘uphill battle’ to beat Spurs and other suitors to the 24-year-old’s services.
However, as far as David is concerned, the publication asserts that Barcelona are currently in talks with the striker regarding a move to Camp Nou.
It is asserted that the Canadian international is expected to prioritise a move to a Champions League club, which could complicate Tottenham’s transfer pursuit.
