Angel Gomes Turns Down West Ham’s Generous Contract Proposal
Reports suggest that 24-year-old midfielder Angel Gomes has declined a substantial contract offer from West Ham United. The former Manchester United player, who has been impressing at Lille OSC since 2020, is approaching the end of his current deal this summer.
Gomes, who earned an England call-up last winter under interim manager Lee Carsley, has caught the attention of several European clubs. West Ham attempted to secure his services with a reported £100,000 per week contract, but sources indicate that the London club is not optimistic about finalizing the deal.
The talented midfielder’s future remains uncertain as he enters the final months of his contract with Lille. His performances in Ligue 1 have showcased his potential, making him an attractive prospect for teams looking to bolster their midfield options.
Gomes has not been selected for England’s upcoming matches under new manager Thomas Tuchel, following a challenging season marked by injuries. He recently returned from a calf problem that sidelined him at the beginning of the year.
As the summer transfer window approaches, football fans and pundits alike will be closely monitoring Gomes’ next move, with speculation mounting about potential destinations for the promising young player.
