Another Englishman in Marseille! Angel Gomes completes free transfer as midfielder joins ex-Man Utd team-mate Mason Greenwood at Ligue 1 giants

On Friday, Gomes formally completed his move to Marseille as he penned a three-year deal that will be valid until the summer of 2023. The 24-year-old left his boyhood club United in 2020 to join Lille. He was immediately sent out on loan to Boavista, where the player spent a season before heading back to his parent club. In the next four seasons, Gomes established himself as an important squad member at Lille and has now moved to Roberto De Zerbi's side.

The former Red Devils academy star reportedly attracted interest from several English clubs. Other than United and the Gunners, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham were also keen on signing the midfielder. He refused to head back to his native and decided to continue to ply his trade in France.

Gomes' 2024-25 campaign was disrupted by injuries, limiting him to just 20 total appearances and only 10 starts in Ligue 1. Despite those setbacks, his overall contribution to the club remains notable, tallying 10 goals and 19 assists in 134 matches.

At Marseille, Gomes will reunite with former United colleague Greenwood. The club begin their Ligue 1 journey on August 17 against Rennes.
