Tottenham pursues Angel Gomes, facing Premier League competition

Tottenham Hotspur is interested in signing Angel Gomes from Lille. The club has received a boost because Gomes is not focused on playing in European competitions when making his decision. This news comes as Spurs look to improve their team after a disappointing season. Currently, Tottenham is sitting in 14th place in the Premier League and has been eliminated from most cup competitions. With their midfield in question, they are planning for next season. Gomes will be a free agent at the end of the season. Despite Manchester United, West Ham, and Aston Villa also interested, Tottenham might have an edge in this race. Gomes, 24, has expressed his desire to leave Lille this summer. Although he has not played regularly this season, he had a strong performance last year, scoring one goal and leading the team with ten assists. With potential exits of key midfielders like Yves Bissouma and James Maddison, Gomes could be a valuable addition for Spurs. If Tottenham can secure a spot in the Champions League by winning the Europa League this season, it could improve their chances of landing Gomes. The club is also looking at other players, like Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite, for future transfers.
