Angel Gomes, the talented England midfielder, has officially joined Marseille, the nine-time French champions, following the expiration of his contract with Lille. This move marks a significant step in Gomes' career as he looks to make an impact in one of Europe's most competitive leagues.

Gomes, who is 24 years old, had previously announced his decision to leave Lille at the end of his contract. Roberto de Zerbi's Marseille had already secured an agreement in principle to sign the midfielder, who brings a wealth of experience from his time in Ligue 1.

Career Highlights

• England Caps: Gomes earned his first four senior caps for England under interim manager Lee Carsley last year.
• Manchester United: He began his career at Manchester United, making his debut at just 16 years old in 2017. However, he left the club in 2020 after making only 10 appearances across all competitions.
• Lille: Over the past four seasons, Gomes has been a key player for Lille, scoring 10 goals and providing 19 assists in 134 appearances.

Reunion with Mason Greenwood

At Marseille, Gomes will be reunited with former Manchester United teammate Mason Greenwood. The duo will be looking to help Marseille build on their second-place finish in Ligue 1 last season and make a strong showing in the Champions League.

Future Prospects

With his move to Marseille, Gomes is poised to take his career to the next level. The club's participation in the Champions League offers him a platform to showcase his talents on a bigger stage and potentially earn more caps for the England national team under current manager Thomas Tuchel.

This transfer is not just a new chapter for Gomes but also a strategic move for Marseille as they aim to challenge Paris St-Germain for domestic and European glory.
