Angel Gomes has dealt a blow to Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham, among others, as he prefers rejoining Manchester United over other Premier League clubs.
According to a report by Caught Offside, Angel Gomes is the subject of interest from Manchester United. Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur are also keen on signing the LOSC Lille midfielder in a cost-effective deal next year. However, the 24-year-old prefers rejoining his former club instead of moving to any other high-profile outfit.
Angel Gomes has established himself as one of the best midfielders in Ligue 1 since joining LOSC Lille in a Bosman move in August 2020. A native of London, the Englishman spent his formative years with Manchester United, joining the club in 2006 before rapidly progressing through the ranks.
However, with a pathway to regular first-team football not clear, the 24-year-old left Manchester United. The decision has paid off, with Gomes turning out 129 times thus far for LOSC Lille while chipping in with nine goals and 19 assists. However, the player has entered the final nine months of his contract, with the situation alerting Premier League bigwigs like Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham.
Gomes might be a top-notch addition to the Chelsea midfield. However, the move won’t make sense until the Blues offload a few players from the midfield department, considering the unit is bloated. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s interest in the English international is understandable. The Reds are scouring the market for a versatile midfielder ahead of the two transfer windows next year.
While Ryan Gravenberch has been a revelation as a holding midfielder this season, Wataru Endo faces an uncertain future at Anfield. So, Gomes has emerged as a viable target for Liverpool. As for Tottenham, recent reports have claimed that the North London outfit might launch the offensive to sign the player in January.
However, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Tottenham are behind Manchester United in the race to secure the services of the English international.
