West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing 23-year-old Spanish defender Sergio Gomez from Manchester City this summer.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Sergio Gomez is the subject of interest from West Ham United. However, the Hammers are not the only suitors pursuing the 23-year-old Manchester City defender, with La Liga clubs like Real Sociedad, Real Betis, and Sevilla also keen on signing him in the summer transfer window.
Sergio Gomez has struggled to stamp his authority since joining Manchester City from RSC Anderlecht in August 2022. The Spaniard would have hoped to be a long-term left-back solution at the Etihad. However, he has been a peripheral figure at the Premier League club in the last two years.
While the 23-year-old managed 30 appearances across all competitions for Manchester City in the 2023/24 season, he could only muster 898 minutes of game time. So, it is hardly surprising that Gomez faces an uncertain future at the Premier League club heading into the summer transfer window.
Recent reports have linked him with several La Liga clubs, including Real Sociedad. The latest update has also mentioned La Real as a prospective suitor, with Spanish rivals like Real Betis and Sevilla also interested in him. Caught Offside has also pointed to West Ham United vying for his signature.
West Ham United’s interest in Sergio Gomez is understandable. The Hammers are scouring the market for a left-back heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term future of Emerson Palmieri. Aaron Cresswell, who has signed a new contract with West Ham, is the only other left-back in Julen Lopetegui’s squad.
So, it behoves West Ham to invest in a left-back heading into the summer transfer window. Several candidates, including Carlos Augusto, have emerged on the East London club’s radar. But Gomez is also a viable target to bolster the left-back spot at West Ham United.
