Angel Gomes Snubs West Ham’s Contract Offer, Eyes Lille Move

Former Manchester United prodigy Angel Gomes has reportedly turned down a lucrative contract offer from West Ham United, setting his sights on a move to French club Lille. The 24-year-old midfielder, who has been a free agent since leaving Lille at the end of the last season, was seen as a key target for West Ham manager Graham Potter, who believed Gomes would fit perfectly into his tactical system.

Despite West Ham's efforts to secure Gomes' signature, the young star has opted to continue his career in Ligue 1. Sources indicate that Gomes is close to finalizing a deal with Lille, where he previously enjoyed a successful stint. This move back to France could provide Gomes with the stability and playing time he seeks, especially after his stint with Manchester United's youth setup and brief appearances in the first team.

The snub is a significant blow for West Ham, who are now forced to accelerate their plans to sign alternative midfielders. The club's transfer strategy will need to adapt quickly as they aim to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Gomes' decision to join Lille might reignite his career, offering him a chance to showcase his talents on a bigger stage.
