In their struggle to change the squad under new manager Julen Lopetegui this summer, West Ham United are eyeing a move for the Manchester City star.
The Hammers will undergo major changes this summer in terms of personnel and the overall look of the club.
The new manager is expected to change his style of football and his philosophy in an expected manner based on management, which is completely different from the one that former manager David Moyes assigned to the club.
In order to deal with the club's key problem, West Ham are considering signing Man City defender Sergio Gomez, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The report mentions Gomez's affordable £12.7m price tag which is seen as a deal breaker for the Hammers.
If you look at Sergio Gomez's minutes last season, it is clear that Pep Guardiola will not hesitate to let him leave the Premier League champions.
The defender feels the need to play regularly and at Man City, it seems very unlikely.
The Man City manager preferred to play defenders on the left side, which shows how good Gomez is.
Currently, Josko Gvardiol has cemented his place in the team as a left-back, making it difficult for Gomez to break into the first team at the Etihad Stadium.
West Ham face competition to sign Sergio Gomez
The report mentions West Ham, Roma, AC Milan and Real Betis as clubs interested in the defender's services and willing to meet his price tag.
Lopetegui could convince the player to join him as the Spaniard would suit Man City at left back, compared to the former West Ham boss, with more emphasis on passing and possession now.
Gomez will be signed to replace Emerson Palmieri, who is likely to leave the club this summer.
