Fulham could push for the signature of Tottenham target Angel Gomes as they look to convince Marco Silva to continue at Craven Cottage.
According to a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Fulham are considering making a move for the services of Angel Gomes. The Cottagers are looking to sign the former Manchester United star on a free transfer, hoping the move will help convince Marco Silva to sign a new deal.
Things might not have worked out for Gomes at Old Trafford, but the move to Lille has helped him revive his career. While the 24-year-old has been a key figure for the Ligue 1 club over the years, he has seen reduced game time this season after making it clear that he won’t sign a new deal.
Tottenham to face competition from Fulham for Angel Gomes
With the Englishman all set to leave the club as a free agent at the end of the season, there is no shortage of interest in him. Tottenham are one of the clubs that are keen on signing the 24-year-old attacking midfielder. Spurs want to add more quality to their midfield and believe Gomes’s ability to feature in any role in the centre of the park could come in handy.
While the North Londoners are keen on Angel Gomes, Fulham are looking to beat the Lilywhites to his signature as they look to convince Marco Silva to continue at the club. The Portuguese manager has done wonders for the Cottagers.
The West London outfit are currently pushing for a spot in one of the European competitions and should manage to get there. While everything is going according to plan, Fulham are worried about the future of their manager. He will only have a year left on his deal in the summer, and there is no shortage of interest in him.
Gomes’s signing could sway Silva to stay
Tottenham are one of the clubs that are interested in appointing Marco Silva as their next boss. Ange Postecoglou’s future depends on how they fare in the UEFA Europa League and if they manage to qualify for European competition.
If Spurs part ways with the Australian, Silva is their priority target to replace him. Fulham are aware of Tottenham’s interest, and they are trying everything in their power to convince their manager to pen a new long-term deal at the club.
The North London club’s hierarchy are keen to show the Portuguese manager that they are willing to back him in the market to help take the next step. Angel Gomes is one of their top targets, as they believe he could be a great fit in Silva’s system.
They have already held talks to understand what a deal for the English international could look like. The Cottagers hope snapping up one of Spurs’ top targets could help them convince the Portuguese manager to reject interest from Tottenham and commit his long-term future to the club.
