Tottenham could target a Bosman move for LOSC Lille star Angel Gomes after his impressive rise in recent times.
According to HITC, Tottenham are keeping close tabs on Angel Gomes following his England call-up. Spurs could sign the LOSC Lille star on a free transfer next summer when his deal at the French side expires.
Angel Gomes on Tottenham’s list
Tottenham had a reasonably successful transfer window and held the distinction of the most expensive signing of the summer. They paid £65 million to sign Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in what was also their club-record purchase. Beyond that, they heavily invested in promising young talents like Archie Gray, Lucas Bergwall and Wilson Odobert.
They are not done yet, as this might have been the beginning of Ange Postecoglou’s plans, as he now also has set sights on Angel Gomes. The 24-year-old former Manchester United academy graduate left for LOSC Lille and has slowly risen to prominence.
In the latest call-ups to the England squad, interim boss Lee Carsley has named Gomes in his team, and this will be a big boost to his career. With that, the attacking midfielder, who can also play other central positions, could be angling a move back to England to feature at the top of the Premier League charts.
Tottenham were interested in the summer, although they could not find the room to make the signing then. Lille were also confident of keeping him for the long-term future, and had hoped to agree a new contract, but that has not materialised. Aston Villa were also keen, and as the season progresses, more clubs will come into the equation for the 24-year-old.
Ange Gomes to leave Lille in 2025
Gomes joined Lille in 2020 on a free transfer from Manchester United and might similarly leave the French giants. The 24-year-old is reportedly not thinking about signing a new contract with the Ligue 1 side and could open the doors to a free transfer and return to England.
Tottenham will be alert to the situation and will want to make an early move for the attacking midfielder. They can get in direct contact as soon as January and enter into a pre-contract agreement, although there’s a feeling that the player’s rising stock would push for a bidding war next summer, with many top clubs expected to be involved.
