Angel Gomes Dangles Return to England – Is Newcastle the Front Runner?
Manchester United legend-in-the-making Angel Gomes has left us with more questions than answers, as he hinted at a possible return to the Premier League. The 24-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move back to England, with three top clubs – Liverpool, Newcastle, and Tottenham – allegedly circling.
Gomes made just 10 appearances for United before departing for Lille in 2020, where he has since accumulated 118 caps, scoring eight goals. But now, he’s finally broken into the senior England squad, earning praise for his performances.
What Does the Future Hold for Gomes?
So, what does the future hold for Gomes? As he’s set to be out of contract in the summer, the stakes are high. Can one of the top Premier League clubs convince him to come home? The answer seems to be a resounding yes.
According to The Sun, Newcastle might just be the front-runner to land Gomes, given their willingness to splash the cash in January to outbid their rivals. Lee Carsley, the interim England manager, has been singing Gomes’ praises, citing his attitude and football knowledge.
Gomes himself has left no doubt about his affection for the Premier League, admitting in a recent interview with L’Equipe that "I would love to come back." The timing is ripe, as Gomes is entering the peak of his career.
Can Newcastle Make the Jump?
So, what makes Newcastle the dark horse in this chase? Their commitment to investing in quality talent has been evident over the past few transfer windows. They’ve bolstered their squad with top prospects, and a statement signing like Gomes would solidify their ambitions.
While other clubs may be deterred by the high demands of the Red Devils legend, Newcastle seems to have a chance to persuade Gomes that the Toon is the right fit for his next chapter.
