Tottenham is one step closer to recruiting Angel Gomes (Lille), who is from Manchester United and is active in French League 1.

West Ham, which competed for recruitment, gave up recruiting Gomes. England's 'TBR Football' reported exclusively on the 16th (Korea time) that West Ham reportedly tried to recruit Gomes but withdrew it.

Gomes, who was born in 2000, is from Manchester United Youth. He received great attention when he made his professional debut for Manchester United in 2017. He was only 16 years old at the time, but he was recognized for his high potential.




But there was no place for Gomes. After playing 10 games in all tournaments for four seasons, he moved to Lille in August 2020. He immediately left for Boavista in Portugal on loan and returned in July 2021.

The true value began to appear. Gomes, who played in 24 games in League 1 in the 2021-2022 season, has emerged as a main player with 36 games in the 2022-2023 season. He played in 31 games last season and 14 games this season.

Despite his small stature of 1m68, he excels in both influence and pass in the midfield. De-pressure and sharp kicks also stand out. Since moving from an attacking midfielder to a defensive midfielder, he has also begun to exert great defensive influence. It is even evaluated as 'the second silver golo kante'.

Gomes, who served as England's representative by age group, was selected for the England national team in September last year and made his A-match debut. He has four A-match appearances.

Gomes will end his contract with Lille after this season and be released as an FA (free agent). West Ham sought to recruit Gomes from the winter transfer market in January. The deal offered to Gomes was the largest in the club's history.

However, it did not become a reality. West Ham pulled out of the negotiations as Tottenham and others jumped into the bid to recruit Gomes ahead of the start of the summer transfer. Gomes is getting love calls from more than six clubs. According to Football Transfer, Tottenham recently started negotiations with Gomes to sign him.




Tottenham are aiming to reinforce their midfield next season. 'TBR Football' Gomes will add depth to coach Enze Postecoglou's midfield options along with Lucas Beribal, Archie Gray and Pape Sarr.
