Daniel Levy and the Tottenham management have faced strong criticism for a long time. “24 years, 16 managers, 1 trophy. Time for change.” -The protest flared up again this winter. This has not affected Levy significantly, the focus is on the summer transfer window and a top signing from Ligue 1.
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 Tottenham are very active.

With free agent status from this summer, it is only time and way before Gomes is ready for a new club. 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 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. According to Givemesport, it is Levy who is personally pushing to land a deal with Gomes, which is described as “phenomenal”. The English media claim that the Spurs management is working for the England international to be Tottenham’s first summer signing, a reinforcement that supporters will appreciate.
