Tottenham are among the clubs tracking England new-boy Angel Gomes, talk SPORT understands. Midfielder Gomes will be a free agent when his contract at Lille expires next summer. The 24-year-old began his career at Manchester United, joining their academy at the age of six. He left for Ligue 1 in 2020 after being released by the Red Devils. Gomes made his senior England debut over the international break against Ireland. He came on as a substitute for Kobbie Mainoo in his side’s 2-0 win, before starting the second Nations League clash against Finland. With Jude Bellingham ruled out of the games due to injury, it's likely Gomes stepped up to slot in his place. New England manager knows Gomes well from his time managing the Under-21s, with the pair winning the European Under-21 Championship last summer. And his impressive performances with the Three Lions has attracted a number of clubs, including Spurs. Gomes already has some Premier League experience despite being released by Man United at a young age. He made four appearances off the bench for the Red Devils, his first coming in the 2018/19 season. Carsley gave a glowing review of Gomes after the Finland clash. He said: "He loves football, he watches football, he's interested in tactics, he knows all the players in any league. "If you ask him for any feedback, you need to be prepared that he's going to give you some feedback on the session, or how we're going to build up, or the positions. "He'll often say about some build-ups he's done with other clubs, or what he's played against, because he's obviously playing in France, so he sees different things. "He fully deserves it.
