One of Tottenham’s top midfield targets, Angel Gomes, has just confirmed that he will be leaving his club when his contract runs out next month, thus handing Ange Postecoglou’s men a huge transfer boost ahead of the summer.
Based on the transfer updates over the last couple of months, it is clear that Tottenham Hotspur are prioritising reinforcements in the middle of the park this summer.
No midfielder has been as heavily linked with a move to N17 as Gomes, who is available on a free transfer as his contract with Lille is about to run out.
In fact, Tottenham have been installed as the favourites to land Angel Gomes by a few outlets, while other publications have asserted that Spurs are confident of winning the race for Lille star’s signature.

While Tottenham may still have work to do to move ahead of the competition for Angel Gomes, they have now been handed a boost as the player has opened up on his transfer plans.
The England international has taken to social media to confirm that he will not be signing a new contract at Stade Pierre-Mauroy and is seeking a new challenge following four years at Lille.
The 24-year-old’s post on Instagram reads: “After four unforgettable years at LOSC Lille, it’s time for me to say goodbye. This club has been more than just a team — it’s been a family, a home, and a place that has shaped me both on and off the pitch.
“Like any journey, there were ups and downs, highs and lows, but I’m truly grateful to my teammates and the fans for sticking with me throughout. I’m proud of what we achieved together and thankful for every moment.
“To the fans — thank you for your amazing support and for believing in me. I will forever be grateful. I always gave everything I had for the badge and for all of you. Lille will always have a special place in my heart.”
Tottenham fans may be hoping that Champions League football will boost their chances of landing Angel Gomes this summer to reinforce the club’s midfield ranks.
