Marseille has successfully secured the signing of England midfielder Angel Gomes on a free transfer, reinforcing their squad for the upcoming Ligue 1 season. The 24-year-old, who previously played for Lille, has decided to continue his career in France despite interest from Premier League clubs Tottenham and West Ham.

Since his transfer from Manchester United in 2020, Gomes has made a notable impact at Lille, scoring 10 goals and providing 19 assists in 134 appearances. His performance earned him four senior caps for England under interim manager Lee Carsley, although he has yet to feature under current boss Thomas Tuchel.

At Marseille, Gomes will reunite with Roberto de Zerbi, his former manager at Brighton, and Mason Greenwood, a fellow Manchester United academy graduate. Greenwood, who was last season's joint-top scorer in Ligue 1 alongside Ousmane Dembele, will be a key teammate as Marseille aims to build on their second-place finish and secure a strong position in the Champions League.

This transfer not only strengthens Marseille's midfield but also highlights the club's ambition to compete at the highest levels of European football. Fans will be eager to see how Gomes integrates into the team and contributes to their success in the coming season.
