# West Ham United: Irons interested in Joe Gomez

**West Ham United are among a whole host of clubs interested in signing Liverpool defender Joe Gomez, according to a report by transfer insider Graeme Bailey.**

### The Lowdown: Gomez’s lack of minutes

The former Charlton Athletic man played a huge part in Liverpool’s title winning season in 2019/20, having made [28 league appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-gomez/leistungsdaten/spieler/256178/plus/0?saison=2019) alongside [Virgil van Dijk.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/virgil-van-dijk/leistungsdaten/spieler/139208/plus/0?saison=2019)

However, [a knee tendon injury](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/nov/12/boost-for-liverpool-as-joe-gomez-undergoes-successful-knee-surgery), which he suffered whilst on international duty with England, put his 2020/21 season to an end in November, and ever since, Gomez has struggled to make his way back into Jurgen Klopp’s first-team plans.

Following an injury-free run for Joel Matip and the arrival of Ibrahima Konate, the 24-year-old has barely featured this season, having amassed just [102 minutes of Premier League football](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-gomez/leistungsdaten/spieler/256178).

Consequently, many rumours have arisen linking the defender with an Anfield exit.

### The Latest: Bailey’s news

According to Bailey, via his [Anfield Watch column](https://anfieldwatch.co.uk/exclusive-liverpool-have-big-decisions-to-make-as-defensive-duo-garner-interest-from-rival-clubs/), Gomez is now concerned over his Liverpool future and keen to get more playing time.

The centre-back is worried about missing out on England selection, with Gareth Southgate, whilst a keen admirer, struggling to pick a player without first-team minutes.

As a result, a number of clubs are interested in signing Gomez over the summer, who [remains under contract until 2024](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-gomez/profil/spieler/256178).

These sides include Tottenham, Newcastle, Fulham, Everton and West Ham, who are all set to battle it over the Liverpool man’s signature.

### The Verdict: Great signing

On many occasions Gomez has demonstrated his ability to perform at the top level. This hasn’t come without praise, with Klopp hailing him as a [“sensational footballer”.](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/385277-jurgen-klopp-praise-for-joe-gomez)

Consequently, it is easy to see why a myriad of clubs are in for the 24-year-old, who still has so many years ahead of him to develop even further.

For West Ham, this would be a fantastic signing, especially given his experience at the top level and his [current market value being a mere £22.5 million.](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-gomez/marktwertverlauf/spieler/256178) The defender’s salary demands would more than likely be sustainable for the club too, given his [current weekly wage of £85,000.](https://salarysport.com/football/player/joe-gomez/)

Therefore, if Gomez has truly recovered from his long-term injury, this would be a fantastic addition to David Moyes’ side.
