Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing 24-year-old English international Angel Gomes this year.
Angel Gomes will be a free agent in the summer, and he will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs this month. According to a report by Give Me Sport, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is personally working to sign the player this month.
West Ham United are keen on the midfielder as well, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Gomes has proven himself to be a reliable performer in Ligue 1, and he has the ability to succeed in England as well. The Englishman has the physicality and technical attributes to adapt to English football, and he could be a quality acquisition for Tottenham.
The North Londoners need to add more control, composure and craft in the middle of the park. The 24-year-old England international could be the ideal acquisition for them. Signing him on a free transfer next summer could prove to be a sensible investment. Alternatively, they could look to sign him for a reasonable price this month.
Perhaps that would be a more appealing option for his club as well. LOSC Lille will not want to lose a player of his quality on a free transfer, and they could look to sell him for a nominal price this month.
Tottenham need more quality
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done. It has been a disappointing season for them, and they are 15th in the Premier League table. They need quality players to bounce back strongly. Gomes will certainly help them improve going forward. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Spurs will be desperate to finish in the European qualification spots, and it will be interesting to see if Gomes can come in and make an instant impact. The former Manchester United academy graduate will feel that he has unfinished business in the Premier League. He will look to establish himself as a key performer for Tottenham or West Ham. If the move goes through.
