England midfielder Gomes set for Wolves loan

Wolves are set to complete a loan move for Marseille’s England midfielder Angel Gomes.

Talks have been ongoing between the clubs over a return to the Premier League for the former Manchester United player.

Sources are indicating a deal is at an advanced stage over an initial loan that will include an option to buy.

Gomes joined Marseille from Lille in the summer but has not started a Ligue 1 match since November and a decision has been made that he can leave this month.

He has scored four goals in 20 appearances in all competitions for the French club but did not start a Champions League match.

The 25-year-old came through the ranks at Manchester United, where he made 10 senior appearances.

When he made his senior debut – replacing Wayne Rooney as a substitute at 16 years and 263 days old – he became the youngest player to represent Manchester United since Duncan Edwards in 1953.
