West Ham are ready to move for Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez.

BBC Sport says West Ham are considering whether to trigger Gomez's £43.3m release clause at Spanish side Celta Vigo.

The Hammers have had one bid rejected for the 22-year-old Uruguay striker, who has scored nine goals this season.

It is understood West Ham would loan Gomez back to Celta if the deal goes through.

The deal would be a club record for the Hammers, eclipsing the £36m they paid Lazio for Brazilian Felipe Anderson in the summer.
