QPR and Fulham are both interested in Celta Vigo centre half Sergio Gomez - according to Spanish sports site to El Desmarque Vigo .

It appears the west London rivals are in talks to sign the defender, and a £4.6 million bid has been lodged by one of them - more than likely Fulham after the club was released from its transfer embargo this week.

Whites head coach Slavisa Jokanovic enjoyed the best of his playing career in Spain, and established plenty of contacts during his time there.

Gomez is a Barcelona academy graduate. But the 24-year-old found first-team opportunities scarce at Nou Camp, and moved to Celta in summer of 2014, since when he has made his mark.

Gomez made 31 La Liga appearances for Vigo this past season that helped the club to a top half position.

The report further claims the defender has an English representative working for him and he has begun talks over a potential switch to the Championship with either Whites or Hoops.

Spanish clubs apart from the two El Clasico teams of Real and Barca don't have the financial clout of many English clubs, and a move to the Championship has its attractions.

Gomez’s contract with the Celta expires 2017 that allows them to command a substantial fee rather than let the player walk for nothing next summer.
