Marseille set to formalise deal to sign Angel Gomes next week

According to a report from L’Équipe, Olympique de Marseille are set to formalise a deal to sign Angel Gomes (24) on a free transfer from Lille next week. The Ligue 1 club have reached an agreement on a 3-year contract with the England international midfielder. 

OM have been tracking Gomes since the winter transfer window. The Lille midfielder has been free to speak to other clubs regarding a potential transfer, with his contract set to expire at the end of the season. Marseille are set to beat Premier League competition to acquire the services of the 24-year-old. 

West Ham United, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have all been linked with a move for the Englishman. However, the Manchester United academy graduate has decided that a move to Les Olympiens to work with Roberto De Zerbi would be the best for his career. Gomes should complete his medical next week.
