Tottenham on course to seal new transfer after Saturday development
Tottenham have already begun plans for the summer transfer window despite the current campaign still being ongoing.
The North London outfit are aiming to win the Europa League and finish as high as they possibly can in the Premier League.
A decision is still to be made about who the manager will be for the 2025-26 campaign as well.
Spurs confident of signing Angel Gomes after scouting mission
Angel Gomes is set to leave Lille once his contract runs out at the end of the season.
TBR report on 6 April that Spurs are confident of securing the England international’s services, with them being on course to seal the free transfer.
Tottenham are leading the chase even though there are a number of clubs vying for the services of the 24-year-old.
| Tottenham’s last four Premier League games | |
| Chelsea (A) | 1-0 |
| Fulham (A) | 2-0 |
| Bournemouth (H) | 2-2 |
| Manchester City (H) | 0-1 |
The North London club also scouted him on Saturday, 5 April, as they’re keeping constant tabs on his performances.
They also would have taken a check on Rayan Cherki and Jonathan David who were also at the game.
Their interest in Gomes stems from their need to bolster their midfield with a versatile, technically gifted player who aligns with the possession-based system.
As he is set to become a free agent in the summer of 2025 as his contract with Lille expires, making him an attractive, cost-effective target for Spurs.
Gomes brings depth to the Tottenham midfield
Having developed significantly since leaving Manchester United in 2020, Gomes has excelled in Ligue 1, showcasing his ability to control games with his skill, vision, and tactical intelligence – qualities that have earned praise from former England interim boss Lee Carsley.
Tottenham’s current midfield lacks depth and consistency, especially with uncertainties surrounding Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur’s futures.
Gomes offers a blend of creativity and work rate, capable of playing as a box-to-box midfielder or in a more advanced role, providing competition and flexibility.
His experience in the Champions League and Ligue 1, combined with four England caps, suggests he can handle the Premier League’s intensity, while his desire to return to England aligns with Spurs’ recruitment strategy.
Additionally, his free transfer status allows Tottenham to allocate funds elsewhere, a key consideration given their recent inconsistent form and need for squad reinforcement.
