Conflicting rumours regarding Gomes's future

André Gomes remains a reported target of Tottenham Hotspur but there are suggestions on Merseyside that he is ready to settle in the northwest as he prepares to sign for Everton on a permanent deal.

Rumour has it that Gomes has been house hunting in the area amid further speculation that the Blues could conclude a transfer agreement with Barcelona.

The Portuguese has spent the season on loan at Goodison Park and has been a success alongside Idrissa Gueye in central midfield but there were no guarantees that Everton would be able to tie him down to a full-time contract.

Those doubts will remain as long as media outlets continue to push stories that Tottenham are ready to spend £30m (the amount it is believed Everton would have to pay Barça for his services) on stealing Gomes away this summer as The Telegraph are now reporting.

However, Gomes himself might have offered the biggest hint about his future with a cryptic tweet in reply to the Liverpool Echo when they publicised Phil Kirkbride's recent interview with him.

The midfielder simply put a signature emoji in his tweet, a possible nod that he is close to putting pen to paper on an Everton contract.
