Tottenham have entered the race for Lille’s Angel Gomes and are expected to challenge Man United for his signature before the midfielder becomes a free agent at the end of the season.
The 24-year-old has been with the Ligue 1 club since 2020 after leaving the Manchester club as the opportunity to play regularly was not available at Old Trafford.
This move has proved crucial to Gomes’ career as the Englishman has developed into a player worthy of representing his country.
Lee Carsley called up the Lille star to represent the Three Lions in September and this international break saw the 24-year-old make his England debut in a 2-0 win over the Republic of Ireland.
This call-up came after an impressive 2023/24 campaign for Gomes in which he featured 45 times for Lille, contributing two goals and 10 assists. The midfielder’s importance to the French club has continued in the current season, with the Englishman already playing 15 times in The Mastiffs.
Gomes is out of contract with Lille at the end of the season and despite the role the Ligue 1 side have played in his career, the England international is not expected to sign a new deal in France.
Tottenham join Man United in race for Angel Gomes
A number of Premier League clubs are keeping an eye on Gomes’ situation and reports in recent weeks have done so linked the 24-year-old with a return to Man United as the midfielder is a cheap way to bolster Ruben Amorim’s squad.
according to GiveMeSportTottenham have now entered the race for the England star as Ange Postecoglou could make great use of the Lille star’s versatility.
Gomes can play in all central midfield positions and with the Australian manager having doubts over James Maddison, the former Man United star could deputize for his England team-mate in north London.
The race to sign Ligue 1 talent will be interesting next summer as it remains to be seen who puts the most pressure on the England star.
