Angel Gomes, a talented midfielder for Lille, has been making headlines lately due to interest from various Premier League clubs. The 24-year-old, who rose through the ranks of Manchester United's academy, has been closely watched by top teams since his debut for the Red Devils at the young age of 16. However, despite the transfer speculation, Gomes is in no rush to make a decision about his future and plans to wait until the summer to assess his options.
Gomes' journey has been an interesting one, having faced limited opportunities under the guidance of Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United. As a result, he made the decision to join Lille on a free transfer three years ago. This move proved to be a turning point for Gomes as he flourished in a deeper midfield role, becoming a key player for the French club. Last season, he even recorded the joint-most assists in Ligue 1 and helped his team secure a spot in the Champions League.
His impressive performances did not go unnoticed, as Gomes earned his first call-up to the senior squad of the England national team under interim manager Lee Carsley. He made his first start for his country in a 2-0 victory against Finland in September of last year. However, an injury setback kept him sidelined for a while, but he has now returned to the field for Lille.
Despite his contract with Lille expiring at the end of the season, Gomes remains focused on finishing the current campaign strong and is not letting any transfer talks distract him. He has been linked with a potential return to Manchester United, as well as interest from West Ham and Tottenham. However, Gomes has made it clear that he will not be making any decisions until the season is over.
There have also been rumors of Arsenal being interested in a deal for Gomes, especially with the contracts of Thomas Partey and Jorginho expiring at the end of the season. Former Gunners defender Lee Dixon believes Gomes would be a valuable addition to Mikel Arteta's midfield. He sees the young midfielder's potential and believes he would fit in well at Arsenal, possibly even playing alongside Declan Rice.
In the midst of all the transfer speculation, Gomes remains focused on his current club, Lille, and is determined to finish the season strong before deciding on his future. Where he will end up next season is still uncertain, but one thing is for sure – Gomes' talent and potential have caught the attention of top Premier League clubs and he will undoubtedly have a bright future ahead of him.
