Marseille reach ‘agreement in principle’ to sign England midfielder Angel Gomes

Angel Gomes is set to join Marseille after the Ligue 1 club announced they had reached an “agreement in principle” to sign the England midfielder.

The former Manchester United youngster is set to become a free agent when his contract with another French side in Lille expires at the end of this month.

The 24-year-old could also be joined by Burnley’s CJ Egan-Riley at the Stade Velodrome after the Clarets confirmed the defender had rejected the offer of a new deal at Turf Moor.
