Why West Ham’s £100k-a-week Couldn’t Seal the Deal…
All eyes are on ex-Man United prodigy Angel Gomes, who has skillfully sidestepped West Ham’s tantalizing £100k-a-week offer. After a dramatic exit from Old Trafford in 2020 and hopping aboard the Lille express, the 24-year-old star has been dazzling in Ligue 1. Unfortunately for West Ham, their pockets weren’t deep enough to capture Gomes’ fancy this summer.
West Ham must have thought Christmas came early with Gomes’ current pickle – limited game time and looming end-of-season contract drama at Lille. Former Chelsea boss Graham Potter seems to have a steaming cup of admiration for Gomes and aimed to spice up his midfield curry with the versatile No.6 or No.8. Barcelona’s been peeping through the curtains too, while Man United fans dream of an angelic homecoming.
As whispers of a possible Manc reunion float through the air, former United chest-thumper Andy Cole is shaking his pom-poms for Gomes’ triumphant return. He cheekily debunked the ‘too small for the Premier League’ nonsense and praised Gomes for his French adventures.
