Claim: Angel Gomes Returns to the Premier League!
England international Angel Gomes is reportedly attracting interest from Premier League clubs as well as Champions League teams across Europe, following his impressive rise since departing Manchester United.
The 24-year-old midfielder’s current deal with French club Lille is set to expire next summer, and according to The Telegraph, his performances have made him a hot target for several top-flight teams. After leaving United in 2020 due to limited first-team opportunities (only 10 appearances), Gomes’ career has flourished through a season-long loan at Boavista in Portugal and three transformative seasons at Lille.
Gomes’ journey from being a young prospect at Old Trafford to a key figure in Lille’s midfield has seen his stock rise, earning him a senior call-up to the England national team this year. His performances and growing reputation could make Manchester United regret allowing the promising midfielder to leave.
National Team Allegiances: England over Portugal and Angola
Gomes has international eligibility for England, Portugal, and Angola. Earlier this year, speculation arose about a possible nationality switch to Portugal, as his father, Gil Gomes, reportedly held talks with the Portuguese Football Federation. However, Angel Gomes ultimately chose to commit to England, finding a place in interim national boss Lee Carsley’s plans.
Transfer Speculation: A Move Back to the Premier League?
With Gomes out of contract next summer, his availability has put multiple Premier League clubs and European giants on high alert. A return to England appears to be on the cards, and his current form suggests he could be an asset to any top-tier club looking for a creative and dynamic midfielder.
