Angel Gomes has been linked with the move to the Premier League this month, with Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United interested.
Tottenham and West Ham United are keen on securing the signature of Angel Gomes. However, a report from the Daily Telegraph has claimed that the 24-year-old England international is set to stay at Lille until the end of the season.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to move on to other midfield targets before the window closes. Recent reports have also linked the Englishman with his former club Manchester United.
The player has a few months left on his contract with the Ligue 1 outfit, and he will be a free agent in the summer. It will be interesting to see if the lights of Tottenham and West Ham try and agree on a pre-contract agreement with him. Signing the player in a Bosman move could prove to be a quality acquisition.
The 24-year-old has proven himself to be a reliable performer in Ligue 1, and he has impressed with England at the international level as well. There is no doubt that he has the quality to succeed in the Premier League and that he could add a new dimension to the Tottenham and West Ham midfield.
Spurs need a creative midfielder
Tottenham need more craft and technical ability in the middle of the park, and the 24-year-old will help them create goalscoring opportunities and control the tempo of the game. The Manchester United academy graduate will feel that he has unfinished business in the Premier League, and the opportunity to move to Tottenham could be quite exciting for him. He will look to showcase qualities at a high level and push for trophies with the London club.
Meanwhile, the Hammers need midfield reinforcements as well. Lucas Paqueta has been linked with a move away from the club, and West Ham will have to replace the Brazilian adequately. Signing the 24-year-old England midfielder on a free transfer could prove to be a masterstroke. The Englishman is still only 24, and he will improve with coaching and experience. Whoever ends up signing him will have a future star on their hands.
