24-year-old Angel Gomes has grown up since leaving Manchester United on a free transfer to Lille in 2020. By then, the player had worked his way up the academy since he was six, made his debut in the first team in 2017 and signed a professional contract. Then it said stop. Gomes never managed to play his way into regular playing time, but his development in Ligue 1 has been impressive. Now he is announced on his way back to the Premier League, where talks are already underway.
Well, with free agent status from this summer, it’s just time and way. According to Footballtransfers, Tottenham are on the offensive to secure the England international’s signature. With both Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur with less than 18 months left on their contracts, Spurs are aiming to land a deal with Gomes in the near future.
The English media claim Gomes is one of the top targets for next season, where talks with the Lille player’s representatives are ongoing.
Liverpool, West Ham and Manchester United have previously shown their interest, now Tottenham are aiming to persuade Gomes to opt for the white Spurs shirt.
The 24-year-old has so far made 134 appearances in the Lille shirt with 10 goals and 19 assists. His debut for England came in September last year. This is really a player on the rise.
