Marseille 'in talks' with England midfielder Gomes

Marseille are in talks to sign England midfielder Angel Gomes on a free transfer.

The 24-year-old, who won his first four senior caps under interim manager Lee Carsley last year, announced in May he would leave Lille when his contract expires this summer.

Discussions are said to be progressing positively, with the Ligue 1 side hopeful they can seal his transfer in the coming days.

Since arriving from Manchester United in 2020, Gomes has scored 10 goals and provided 19 assists in 134 appearances for Lille.

Premier League clubs Tottenham and West Ham were also linked with the midfielder.

The deal would see Gomes, who is yet to feature for England under Thomas Tuchel, link up with former Brighton boss Roberto de Zerbi and remain playing football in France.
