Tottenham Hotspur might accelerate the move for 24-year-old LOSC Lille midfielder Angel Gomes this month instead of waiting until the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Angel Gomes is the subject of interest from Tottenham Hotspur. The North London giants are keen on reinforcing their midfield department this month. Meanwhile, the 24-year-old LOSC Lille midfielder is also a target for his former club Manchester United.
The rise of Angel Gomes in France
Angel Gomes has seen his stock soar since joining LOSC Lille on a free transfer in August 2020 after his contract with Manchester United expired. The Englishman took some time to get going at the Ligue 1 club but has not looked back since returning from a loan spell with Boavista.
The 24-year-old has turned out over 100 times thus far for LOSC Lille while chipping in with nine goals and 19 assists. Gomes’s exploits for Les Dogues have helped him earn call-ups to his national team in the last few international breaks. However, the player has left the Ligue 1 club in a spot of bother after entering the final six months of his contract.
Meanwhile, Gomes’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile Premier League clubs. Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are among the LOSC Lille midfielder’s prospective suitors, with the latter mulling over a surprise winter move.
Premier League return on the horizon?
Manchester United’s interest in Angel Gomes is understandable. The Red Devils are scouring the market for a dependable midfielder amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term futures of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen. So, their academy graduate has emerged as a viable target for Manchester United.
As for Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou wants squad reinforcement in the winter transfer window, with midfield unit needing some attention. So, the LOSC Lille midfielder is an option worth considering for Tottenham. So, the North London outfit might launch a winter move for the Englishman instead of waiting for the summer transfer window.
If the North London giants decide to pursue a winter move for the 24-year-old English international, it can catch Manchester United off-guard. So, it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can beat the competition to his signature.
