Tottenham to bring down deal for former Man United star seeking EPL redemption
Tottenham Hotspur are actively pursuing a midfield addition in the upcoming winter transfer window, with LOSC Lille’s Angel Gomes emerging as a prime target.
The 24-year-old midfielder has captured attention with his performances in Ligue 1, and Tottenham’s leadership is keen on adding his creativity and energy to strengthen their squad.
Following significant summer investment in reshaping the team, head coach Ange Postecoglou looks set to have further support in fortifying the squad in the months ahead, with Gomes at the top of the list.
An exclusive report from GIVEMESPORT suggests Gomes has a strong desire to move to the Premier League, aligning with Tottenham’s interest. This enthusiasm for a new opportunity comes as the former Manchester United academy talent reaches the final months of his contract at Lille.
With only eight months remaining, Lille may prefer to sell Gomes in January rather than risk losing him on a free transfer in the summer.
The midfielder’s impressive development in Ligue 1 has attracted attention beyond the Premier League; Bundesliga clubs Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig are also closely monitoring his situation.
Tottenham see this as a rare chance to sign a young, versatile England international at a potentially reduced fee. With Gomes’ contract running down, Spurs may explore a cut-price deal or potentially arrange a pre-contract agreement in early 2025 if necessary.
However, the club’s progress with this signing depends on whether Gomes’ financial expectations align with Tottenham’s budget.
Currently earning under £11,500 per week at Lille, Gomes is reportedly seeking a significant increase, around £150,000 per week, when negotiations commence. This demand may challenge Tottenham’s wage structure, which they are cautious to maintain.
The interest in Gomes underscores Tottenham’s need for midfield depth. After parting ways with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso in the summer without adequate replacements, Postecoglou’s squad has missed both experience and stability in the midfield. Gomes offers creativity, agility, and the type of dynamic play that could elevate Tottenham’s game.
Ultimately, Tottenham’s pursuit of Gomes hinges on whether the club can negotiate favorable financial terms while ensuring that his addition aligns with their long-term strategy for midfield enhancement.
