According to a report from L’Équipe, Olympique de Marseille is poised to finalize the signing of Angel Gomes (24) on a free transfer from Lille next week. The Ligue 1 club has reportedly reached an agreement on a three-year contract with the England international midfielder.
OM has been monitoring Gomes` situation since the winter transfer window. The Lille midfielder was free to negotiate with other clubs regarding a potential move, as his contract is set to expire at the end of the current season. Marseille is now expected to secure the services of the 24-year-old, reportedly fending off competition from Premier League clubs.
West Ham United, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur were among the English clubs linked with a move for Gomes. However, the Manchester United academy graduate has apparently decided that joining Les Olympiens to work under Roberto De Zerbi would be the most beneficial step for his career. Gomes is anticipated to undergo his medical examination next week.
