According to Spanish daily AS, Gomez’s future will only be clarified after the Olympic Games.

Gomez, 20, will be heading to the Olympics as part of the Paraguay team who have been placed in Group D with Japan, Mali and Israel.

West Ham are not the only English club keen, with several claimed to have asked about signing him.

Gomez is expected to cost interested clubs a fee of between €15m and €20m.

The Inter Miami midfielder could further add to his suitors if he shines for Paraguay in the Olympic Games this summer.
