BREAKING NEW as Rúben Amorim reveals the midfielders he has his eyes on as he prefer to sign the player that plays like Modric.
Angel Gomes, who departed Manchester United five years ago, could soon return to England, with a Premier League club reportedly showing interest in acquiring the midfielder.
Gomes, a product of United’s esteemed academy, debuted for the club in 2017 under Jose Mourinho. After making 10 appearances, he chose not to extend his contract in 2020 and joined French side Lille. Shortly after arriving in Ligue 1, Gomes was loaned to Boavista in Portugal, where he scored six goals in 32 matches, gaining valuable experience. Upon his return to Lille, he became an integral part of the squad, contributing nine goals across 130 appearances. His consistent performances also earned him a call-up to England’s senior team, adding four caps to his record after representing the country at various youth levels.
Gomes’s contract with Lille is set to expire at the end of the season, making him a potential free transfer target in the summer if he does not sign a new deal. According to talkSPORT, West Ham United have expressed interest in bringing the 23-year-old back to the Premier League. The club, now managed by Graham Potter, is also reportedly monitoring Jonathan David, Gomes’s teammate at Lille. Both players could become available for free next summer if Lille fails to secure their renewals.
It remains unclear whether West Ham plans to make a January move for Gomes or wait until the summer. A mid-season transfer would represent Lille’s last chance to receive a fee for the player, but the decision may depend on West Ham’s willingness to negotiate and Gomes’s preference.
Gomes has grown significantly since leaving Old Trafford, honing his playmaking skills and versatility at Lille. A return to the Premier League would offer him a platform to showcase his development while providing West Ham with a creative and adaptable midfield option, especially following the departure of Declan Rice. Fans will be eager to see how this potential transfer unfolds in the coming months.
