Tottenham reignite interest in Barcelona loanee André Gomes
Barcelona have a new suitor for André Gomes in Tottenham
André Gomes joined Everton on a season-long loan with a nominal fee after being frozen out of the squad by Ernesto Valverde. But Goodison Park may not be the permanent destination for the Barcelona playmaker, as Tottenham have reignited interest in him.
The Portugal international has impressed Everton boss Marco Silva with his performances this season, as Everton look set for a mid-table finish in the Premier League. But Silva is not the only one impressed with André Gomes.
In Robert Fernández’s last summer in charge of transfers, the ex-Culé had attempted to negotiate loan moves with Tottenham and West Ham. But the two parties failed to reach a consensus on a future fee once Gomes’ loan ended.
