Ex-Man Utd midfielder Angel Gomes to join Marseille
Former Manchester United attacking midfielder Angel Gomes has agreed to join Marseille, the French club announced on Wednesday. The 24-year-old will be a free agent when his contract with fellow French outfit Lille finishes at the end of the month, having joined them from United in 2020.
He made 10 appearances for boyhood club United prior to moving to the Ligue 1 side, where he scored 10 goals in 134 outings.
Gomes earned the last of his four England international caps in November 2024.
The 1993 Champions League winners said on social media they had 'reached an agreement in principle with Angel Gomes regarding the arrival of the English international midfielder at the club', without adding further details about the deal.

Frank leaves Brentford for Spurs
Thomas Frank said yesterday he had 'left a big piece of my heart' at Brentford after taking on the daunting task of reviving Tottenham's Premier League fortunes. Spurs announced the Dane as their new head coach on a three-year deal on Thursday, as a replacement for the sacked Ange Postecoglou. Frank, 51, won 136 of his 317 matches across a seven-year spell at Brentford, taking them into the Premier League in 2021. In an emotional message posted on Brentford's website Frank said: 'The time has come for me to move on. But, even as I leave, I know I have left a big piece of my heart at Brentford, not just at the football club but with the community and, of course, the incredible and loyal supporters. 'I want to extend my profound gratitude to the club for giving me the chance to pursue my dreams and for everyone involved who made the journey such a memorable one.' He said it had been a privilege to be allowed to be part of such a 'special community'. 'Whatever we have achieved, we have achieved together, and our success is built on unity, spirit, courage and ambition at every level of the club and amongst the fans,' he said. 'Everybody has contributed, and every contribution has been invaluable. I am not just leaving a football club, I am saying goodbye to friends whose support through good and bad times I will carry with me always.' Frank, who becomes Tottenham's fourth permanent boss since 2021, is tasked with lifting the club back among the Premier League's elite. Spurs will play in the Champions League next season thanks to their Europa League success in Bilbao, where they beat Manchester United 1-0 in the final. Their first European trophy for 41 years delivered on Postecoglou's boast that he always wins silverware in his second season. However, the Australian paid the price for a miserable Premier League season in which Tottenham finished 17th after losing 22 of their 38 games. Tottenham finished seven places and 18 points below Frank's Brentford.

Liverpool agree club-record deal to sign Wirtz
Liverpool have agreed a club-record deal worth up to £116 million ($157 million) to sign attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, it was widely reported yesterday. British media reported that the Premier League champions would pay an initial £ 1 0 0 million, comfortably surpassing their own record outlay, but the per - for - mance-related add-ons, if achieved, would make it a potential British record. Reports in Germany suggested the potential fee could rise to 150 million euros (£127 million, $172 million). Liverpool's total spend on the 22-year-old Germany international could surpass the £115 million Chelsea agreed to pay Brighton in 2023 for Moises Caicedo, who turned down Anfield. Midfielder Caicedo cost Chelsea an initial £100 million fee, which could rise to £115 million. Striker Darwin Nunez was Liverpool's previous record signing in 2022, although they have not paid the full £85 million as he has not met all the requirements for certain add-ons to be due. Manchester City had been keen on Wirtz but pulled out, reportedly due to the spiralling costs of the whole package. Wirtz has been hailed as one of the 'best in the world' by former Bayer Leverkusen coach and ex-Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, who is the new boss of Real Madrid. After largely keeping their powder dry in the transfer market during Arne Slot's first season in charge, the Reds are splashing out to strengthen a side that romped to a record-equalling 20th English top-flight title.
