Wolverhampton Wanderers are on the cusp of completing a loan deal for Marseille midfielder Angel Gomes, according to sources. The 25-year-old England international has struggled to find consistency at the French club since his arrival from Lille in the summer and will now return to the Premier League where he previously played for Manchester United.
Gomes has made only four goals in 20 appearances for Marseille this season, missing out on a Champions League match. His lack of form led to speculation that he would be offered for loan to a foreign club, but Wolves have now entered the fray with an initial loan deal that includes an option to buy.
The move will bring Gomes back to England and reuniting him with former Manchester United teammate Raúl Jiménez at Molineux. The 25-year-old made just 10 senior appearances for the Red Devils before joining Marseille, but holds a special place in the hearts of fans following his impressive youth career.
Gomes has four caps for England, all earned under caretaker manager Lee Carsley, although his last international appearance was over nine months ago. Wolves are keen to bolster their midfield options and have been looking to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes.

, he's been pretty meh this season at Marseille, like 4 goals in 20 games isnt exactly fire 
. I get Wolves want to bolster their midfield but I think they should've looked elsewhere, there are plenty of talented players out there who'd make a bigger impact. Plus it feels like they're trying to recreate what worked with Jiménez and Gomes back at Man U, which didn't really work out in the long run 
. Still, it's Wolves' money and I'm sure they'll make the most of him 
.
. He's got that special something that'll bring an extra spark to Wolves' midfield 
. Reuniting him with Raúl Jiménez is pure genius, those two would be like two peas in a pod on the pitch! 
. His international form hasn't been great, but he's still got so much potential 
. The initial loan deal with an option to buy is a win-win for both parties – it shows Wolves are committed to developing their young talent 
.
️!
. Like, he's had so many chances at Marseille and he just can't seem to get it together. Missing out on a Champions League match? That's just embarrassing for him 
. I mean, I love Raúl Jiménez and all, but this feels like a desperate move by Wolves to bolster their midfield 
. Can't they just give someone else a chance? Gomes has been with Manchester United for years, what makes him think he's going to turn it around now? 
wolves need a solid midfielder ASAP and angel gomes is the perfect addition. i remember watching him play for man united back in the day and he was always so promising 
hope he finds his rhythm again and can score some goals for wolves
