Tottenham Hotspur are already making strategic plans for the January transfer window, even though the summer transfer period has only recently concluded.
The club’s management is proactively scouting potential targets, with Lille’s Angel Gomes emerging as a prominent prospect. Gomes, a midfielder for both Lille and the England national team, recently made his debut for the senior side under the guidance of manager Lee Carsley. His recent performances have caught the attention of several major clubs.
In addition to Tottenham Hotspur, Premier League rivals Newcastle United and Liverpool are also monitoring the 24-year-old’s progress. Gomes, who is set to be out of contract with Lille at the end of the current season, has attracted significant interest from these clubs. Among the interested parties, Newcastle United seems to be the most serious contender at this stage. The Magpies are reportedly weighing the possibility of making a formal bid in the upcoming January transfer window.
Gomes, once hailed as a future star during his time at Manchester United, is not expected to extend his stay at Lille. During the recent international break, he received notable praise from Roy Keane. Keane, speaking on ITV, highlighted Gomes’ ability to remain composed and confident on the pitch, even in a game where the outcome was already decided. Keane appreciated Gomes’ performance and noted that despite having moved from a big club like Manchester United to gain regular playing time and experience, he appeared to be well-suited for the international level.
