The Maxi Gomez 'will he or won't he' transfer saga seems to have been going on for an age, because that is exactly the case. Long since coveted by Manuel Pellegrini, Gomez knows he is wanted in East London, however, understandably wants to get the best offer he can, namely representing a club that can promise Champions League football.

Snodgrass Redeemed
When he arrived from Hull City during the January transfer window of 2017, Robert Snodgrass had the unenviable task of trying to replace Dimitri Payet, something that was beyond his and virtually any other player's scope at the time, consequently 'Snoddy' suffered.

Sooner or later one or two of the protagonists competing in the battle to sign Maximiliano "Maxi" Gómez González from Celta Vigo were going to fall by the way side, and that is exactly what is happening. Essentially West Ham and Valencia were supposed to be in a 'bidding' war for the 22 year old Uruguayan striker who has a £43.5 Million release clause, however news then 'broke' that Hammers nemesis' Tottenham had joined the party!
