Daniel Levy to front talks as Tottenham ready Angel Gomes transfer
Daniel Levy will front transfer negotiations as Tottenham look to sign Lille midfielder Angel Gomes, according to Give Me Sport.
The news outlet reports [5 November] that the England international is set to enter the final six months of his deal with the Ligue 1 outfit and is keen on returning to the Premier League.
Spurs are one of the teams looking to sign the former Manchester United star, but the 24-year-old’s potential £150,000-per-week salary demands could prove to be an obstacle for the North Londoners.
Angel Gomes could be a bargain transfer for Tottenham
Tottenham have made some astute signings to bolster their front line in recent transfer windows, with the likes of Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke making their way to N17.
After a rather shaky start, the former Bournemouth striker has found his feet at the Lilywhites, scoring a brace in the side’s 4-1 win over Aston Villa in the league on 3 November.
In midfield, Dejan Kulusevski is thriving in a somewhat unorthodox position in the current campaign, and it looks like Ange Postecoglou has found the formula to get the best out of the Swede.
James Maddison has found it challenging to secure a spot in the starting lineup this season as the English midfielder has failed to complement the Australian manager’s changes in the engine room.
Gomes has a profile similar to Maddison, thriving playing behind the striker, so it will be interesting to see whether Spurs will make their interest in him concrete.
What cannot be argued is the fact that the Lille midfielder has gone from strength to strength in France, and supporters wouldn’t mind having someone of his ilk in the squad.
