The Lille midfielder has put himself in the spotlight in recent times. A standout performer in Ligue 1, Gomes has now been called up to the senior England set-up for the first time in his career by interim boss Lee Carsley.

The 24-year-old could make his debut against the Republic of Ireland or Finland in the next few days and it would be just reward for his development since leaving Man Utd for France.

After an initial loan to Boavista, Gomes has gone from strength to strength at Lille and he recently revealed why he simply had to leave Man Utd for the good of his career in 2020.

Could he return to the Premier League in the future? It is certainly possible, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Romano on Gomes

Speaking to CaughtOffside, the Italian transfer expert revealed that 'many clubs' are keeping a watchful eye on Gomes' performances, though he refused to be drawn to name Man Utd or any other clubs in particular.

“Many clubs are following and scouting Angel Gomes, but in this moment there’s nothing concrete or specific to report,” he said. "Any ‘interest’ mentioned now would be guesswork and as you know guys, I don’t work in this way.

“It’s just normal monitoring of a very good player, who has just made the England squad after impressing at Lille.

“England coach, Lee Carsley, has clearly seen something that he likes, and with fixtures against the Republic of Ireland and Finland coming up in the next few days, it does offer Gomes the perfect opportunity to be able to show how much he’s improved of late.

“At 24, the former Manchester United player looks to be on the verge of a special moment in his career.”
