Wolves Pursue Loan Deal for Marseille’s England Midfielder
Wolverhampton Wanderers are actively pursuing a loan deal for Marseille’s young England midfielder, Morgan Gomes. The 25-year-old has become a target for Wolves manager Rob Edwards as the club seeks to enhance its midfield options.
Negotiations Underway for Gomes
Discussions between Wolves and Marseille regarding Gomes have not yet progressed significantly. Nonetheless, a loan move is being evaluated as a viable option. This comes as Wolves aim to bolster their squad amid potential departures of key players like Joao Gomes and Andre.
Gomes’ Journey and Recent Performance
- Age: 25
- National Team: Four caps for England
- Previous Club: Manchester United (2020)
- Current Club: Marseille, signed in 2023
- Contract Duration: Until 2028
- Appearances This Season: 19 for Marseille
- Goals This Season: 4
Gomes began his career at Manchester United, where he made only ten appearances. He then joined Lille, where he had a successful five-year stint, accumulating 134 appearances and helping the team secure consecutive fifth-place finishes and a fourth-place finish in Ligue 1.
Challenges at Marseille
Since joining Marseille on a free transfer last summer, Gomes has struggled for consistent playing time. Despite showing promise early in the season, his contributions have dwindled in recent months. Reports suggest that Marseille might be open to a sale and that a temporary move could be beneficial for Gomes.
Future Aspirations and World Cup Hopes
Born in London, Gomes holds aspirations of joining Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the next World Cup. To secure his place, he will need regular playing time leading up to the tournament. A loan to Wolves could provide him with the opportunities he needs to impress the national team coach.
The potential move reflects both Wolves’ strategies to strengthen their midfield and Gomes’ desire for more active involvement in matches as he seeks to maintain his international career momentum.
