Manchester United, European adventure and England caps - who is Wolves-bound Angel Gomes

There will also be an option to sign him permanently for just over £6million. 

Here is everything you need to know about the latest deadline day capture in prospect.

Footballing family and Manchester United debut

Gomes was not short of inspirations growing up. His father Gil represented Portugal at under-21s level and his godfather Nani enjoyed a glittering career with the likes of Manchester United, Sporting Lisbon and Portugal. 

Moreover, Gomes followed in the footsteps of Nani, who he has described as one of his biggest role models, when he joined the Red Devils' youth set-up aged just six. 

His first team debut arrived in May 2017 when he was introduced as a late substitute during a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. 

Aged just 16 years and 263 days, Gomes became the youngest player to represent United since the late great Duncan Edwards in 1953. 

He finished the 2016-17 season as the youngest recipient of the Jimmy Murphy Young Player of the Year award and lifted the Under-17 World Cup with England later that year.

Gomes was limited to just 10 appearances for United and he was eventually released in 2020. 

A European adventure 

Lille signed Gomes on a five-year deal although he headed on loan to Boavista in the Portuguese top-flight. 

After registering a hat-trick of assists on his debut, Gomes finished his solitary season in Portugal with six goals and as many assists. 

Upon his return to France, Gomes figured as a squad player as he made 30 appearances in all competitions - including four in the UEFA Champions League. 

The arrival of Paulo Fonseca saw his stake rise at Lille and Gomes played a starring role in a midfield trio alongside Benjamin Andre and Remy Cabella. 

His second season heralded three goals and six assists in 39 games and was followed by further silverware on the international stage. 

International break with England 

Gomes played an instrumental role in leading England to the Under-21 European Championship in 2023.

He started five of the six games at the tournament, as the Three Lions took home the trophy with a 1-0 success over Spain in the final. 

His rise at Lille continued during the 2023-24 campaign and he went on to hit double figures for assists in 45 appearances across all competitions. 

After representing his country 54 times at youth level, Gomes made his senior international bow as a second half substitute during the Three Lions' 2-0 win in Republic of Ireland in September 2024. 

A first start arrived three days later in a 2-0 win over Finland and Gomes emerged with an assist in a 3-1 win in Helsinki the following month. 

Gomes featured once more from the bench in a 5-0 crushing of Republic of Ireland in November 2024, but has not featured since Thomas Tuchel took to the helm. 

A rollercoaster year

That is due in large part to an injury-stricken campaign which saw him make just 20 appearances for Lille. 

It would also prove to be his last, as he teamed up with Robert De Zerbi at domestic rivals Olympique de Marseille.  

He has scored in league wins over FC Lorient, AJ Auxerre and Stade Brest, but has played just once in Ligue 1 since the start of December.

His situation at Marseille has been far from straightforward and minutes have not been forthcoming with De Zerbi preferring Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Matt O'Riley as his double pivot.
