Manchester United graduate Angel Gomes is open to a return to the Premier League amidst interest in his services from Newcastle United.
According to a report from Football Insider, Angel Gomes could soon make a return to the English top flight. The ex-Manchester United midfielder has been linked with a move away from LOSC Lille, with his contract running out. And the Premier League has emerged as a potential destination.
There is significant interest in his services from Newcastle United, and the 24-year-old attacking midfielder is open to a return to England, where he seems to have some unfinished business.
Gomes’ time at Manchester United and his revival at Lille
Angel Gomes was a part of the Manchester United youth ranks back in the day. He went up the ranks at some pace and got promoted to their first team back in the summer of 2019. While he did feature in 10 matches for their first team, things did not work out for him at Old Trafford, and he left the club in search of regular first-team action.
The English midfielder has gone from strength to strength at the French club. He has established himself as one of their mainstays while earning a reputation because of his consistency and his ability to feature in different roles in the centre of the park.
He was rewarded for his performances by being handed his debut cap for the England national team during the recent September break. His impressive rise along with his contract situation at Lille have resulted in a lot of interest from across Europe.
Newcastle United keen on signing Angel Gomes
The 24-year-old midfielder’s current deal runs out in less than 10 months, and he does not seem keen on penning down an extension at the French club. With Gomes potentially available for free in the near future,
Newcastle United are looking to make the most out of the situation. The Magpies are interested in signing the former United star, and they have received a massive boost as he is open to a return to the Premier League.
Eddie Howe seeks more depth in the centre of the park, and he feels Gomes could compete with the likes of Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton and Sandro Tonali for a place in their starting XI.
