Everton desperately need a new centre-forward going into next season if they want to force their way into European spots and manager Marco Silva should already be shortlisting potential targets.

One man that should crop up on the radar of the Merseyside club is Maxi Gomez from Spanish outfit Celta Vigo.

The 22-year-old striker has impressed in the Spanish top-flight in recent years and could be a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League if given the chance.

According to the Mirror, West Ham are keen on the Uruguay international and could reignite interest in the summer after eyeing him in January.

The report details that Gomez has a £22million release clause that will be activated if Celta Vigo suffer the drop, with the club currently sat in the bottom three of the La Liga table.

Everton should consider joining the hunt Gomez, who is still a quality prospect despite playing in a struggling team completely out of form.

The powerful attacker has a brilliant physical presence that helps him lead the line and is excellent in the air.

He’s scored nine goals and supplied five assists in 25 games so far this season for Celta Vigo, while he netted 18 league goals in the last campaign.

Gomez is still a young prospect that has so much room to grow and he is definitely a target man that Everton should look at, especially if he becomes available at a bargain near-£20million price.
