Angel Gomes will join Marseille after leaving the French team Lille.

The former Manchester United boy, who has won four caps for England, had been linked to West Ham and Tottenham, but has opted for Marseille, where he will join with another former United player in Mason Greenwood.

The 24-year-old could also accompany CJ Egan-Riley in Burnley at the Stade Velodrome after the Clarets confirmed that the defender had rejected the offer of a new agreement in Turf Moor.

A Marseille statement said: “Olympique de Marseille announces that he has reached an agreement in principle with Angel Gomes regarding the arrival of the English international midfielder in the club.”

Egan-Riley impressed when Burnley said the promotion of the Premier League last season, but was also out of contract this summer.

Lancashire’s side was interested in the 22 -year -old staying, but accepted that he wishes to move on.

They confirmed the departure of the center-person in a statement that referred to him by joining a club Ligue 1 without a name. It has been widely affirmed that it is Marseille.

The statement added: “Burnley Football Club can confirm that the representatives of CJ EGAN-RILEY have informed that the U-21 International Defender of England has now formally rejected the club’s offer of a long-term significant contract with the club.

“Despite the club’s commitment to ensure the long -term future of CJ and the substantial investment offered, CJ has made the decision to take an opportunity in France.”
