Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly reached an agreement to sign Angel Gomes on loan. According to Fabrizio Romano, Wolves have received approval from Olympique Marseille for a season-long loan valued at £866,000, with a purchase option of around £6 million. While the formal paperwork is still pending, the deal is seen as moving forward, indicating strong confidence from all parties involved that Gomes will soon join Molineux.
Wolves Close In On Angel Gomes After Loan Deal Agreed
Gomes Nears Premier League Return
Angel Gomes, at just 25 years old, is known for his technical skills, awareness on the field, and calmness in possession. He can play on the left, right, or center, serving as an attacking midfielder. Gomes brings a dynamic that Wolves have been missing: a midfielder who can handle pressure and advance play in tight spaces.
During his recent seasons in France’s top league, Gomes has excelled in progressive passes, pass completion, and creating chances. While he hasn’t scored many goals, he has netted three times in Ligue 1 this season.
A Smart Fit for Wolves Midfield Needs
This move appears low-risk and strategically sound for Wolves. The loan arrangement allows the club to evaluate how Gomes adjusts to the Premier League, while the £6 million option to buy offers good value if he adapts quickly.
With Rob Edwards at the helm, a midfielder who can function between the lines is crucial. Gomes’ experience in Ligue 1 and European tournaments adds a level of maturity that the squad requires in their effort to stay clear of relegation.
While this may not be a headline-grabbing signing, it could prove to be a smart choice. If Gomes gains confidence and form in English football, Wolves may have lined up a promising talent at a reasonable price.
