The Lilywhites have been dipping in the market to bring in a new midfielder, given how the North Londoners have been lacking depth and dynamism in the middle of the park, and they have been looking to bring in reinforcements when the summer window comes around with English midfielder Angel Gomes linked with a move to N17.

Gomes has been in the news for a while, given that his contract with his current employers is set to expire after the conclusion of the ongoing campaign, and the Manchester United academy graduate has been speculated to move in a high-profile free transfer with the likes of West Ham United, Man United, Aston Villa, and Tottenham Hotspur linked with a move for his signature.

And transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has provided us with the latest on the 24-year-old’s situation.

Looking at him from the North Londoner’s point of view, he could be exactly the midfield reinforcement that Ange Postecoglou has been striving for since he took over the reins at N17. Gomes brings that creativity, technical skill, and versatility in the middle of the park, and then you consider his ability to operate in multiple roles, from a central playmaker to a more advanced attacking midfielder, which gives a lot of tactical flexibility to the dynamics that the Australian head coach operates in. When you look at his age (and profile), he also fits into the transfer strategy at Hotspur Way, given his young age and the level of maturity that he has been showing for Lille and for England.

What did Fabrizio say on Gomes?

At the moment, it looks like his departure from the French giants is increasingly certain as Fabrizio Romano took to GIVEMESPORT in an exclusive stating the likeliness of Gomes to make a move in the upcoming summer window. He wrote:

“Yes, Premier League is a possibility for Angel Gomes while also clubs in the Bundesliga asked for information to his new agents. He will 100% leave Lille.”

Considering the fact that Levy can land him without spending any transfer fees makes it an ideal transfer for the Lilywhites, and there have been reports of Gomes wanting a weekly wage in the region of £150,000 per week—it shouldn’t be a problem for Spurs given how the North Londoners flex the finances of an elite club. Now, it is to be seen if the club chairman, who has strived to have a balanced wage bill, will sanction the aforementioned numbers to attract the 24-year-old to North London.
