Manchester United possesses a great history when it comes to developing world-class players from their youth academy. The English giants have undeniably braced the world with absolute ballers from their player production house.
Shedding light on current times, players like Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, and Hannibal are some of the notable names who have risen through the club’s youth ranks and made a big name for themselves in European football.
However, as things move on, one of the attacking midfielders is garnering big attention from top-tier English clubs. It is worth mentioning that the frontline is a product of United’s youth academy.
Newcastle stand ahead in signing Angel Gomes from Lille
As per a report by the British news outlet The Sun, United’s counterparts Newcastle are leading the race to sign in Angel Gomes. The 24-year-old is currently playing for Lille across the English channel in France.
The same report suggests that the Suadi-backed club is likely to face tough competition from Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspurs, and last but not least, German club Borussia Dortmund.
With his contract with the current club expiring next summer, Gomes is currently bagging € 13,654 per week. The London-born has recently made his international debut for England against Ireland.
Moreover, Gomes played a big role in his country’s 2-0 victory against Finland in the recently concluded phase of the UEFA Nations League qualifiers.
Decoding Gomes’ future, he is likely to opt for a Premier League club rather than any others if he decides to leave Lille following the expiration of his contract. Newcastle could be a perfect destination for him as he currently stands on the priority list of the club.
Talking on money terms, Lille will surely not want to let their highly wanted player leave as a free agent. This ultimately clears out that the French Giants will likely negotiate a good deal for their star player in the forthcoming winter transfer window.
He is likely to trigger a good bidding war as time proceeds, and it would be exciting to see which club makes its mark in convincing him.
