Gomez, an international player from Paraguay, is regarded as a promising young player after drawing attention with his Inter Miami MLS exploits.
The 21-year-old has drawn a lot of interest from West Ham, but Brighton is moving forward to close a deal.
Positive discussions have taken place regarding a £12 million deal for the midfield player with the Seagulls.
But no agreement has been reached and probably won’t be till Gomez’s participation in the Olympic Games for Paraguay concludes.
In the current season, Gomez has made 12 appearances in the Major League Soccer (MLS) for Inter Miami. He has three goals and three assists for his teammates.
After missing some time with an ankle injury, he returned against Toronto earlier this month and scored as well as assisted.
Gomez will have the chance to put himself even more on the map through his performances at the Olympic Games.
