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.
