Angel Gomes will officially return to England. The 25-year-old English midfielder is already leaving Olympique de Marseille to join Wolverhampton in the form of a loan of one million euros with a purchase option of €7 million. “England international Angel Gomes has joined Wolves on loan for the remainder of the 2025/26 season. The 25-year-old, whose contract includes a purchase option, returns to the Premier League after a brief spell in Ligue 1 with Marseille, where he made 20 appearances and scored four goals.indicate the Wolves. Arriving free of any contract last summer from Lille, the English midfielder never managed to fully establish himself in Roberto De Zerbi’s eleven, despite a rather promising start to the season. We revealed to you in our columns last week that Gomes’ future could take this turn, and discussions between OM and Wolves have materialized very quickly in recent days.
Competition in the Marseille midfield made this decision inevitable. With the arrivals of Quinten Timber and Ethan Nwaneri this winter, space for Gomes has shrunk further. Since December, he has only been fielded twice in the Coupe de France, while other players like Højbjerg, O’Riley or Kondogbia have been regularly preferred to compose the double pivot or accompany the striker. The situation was therefore clear for the Marseille management: a solution had to be found to allow the player to continue to evolve in a competitive environment and to lighten a squad that was now saturated in the midfield.
Return to the Premier League for Gomes
Wolverhampton, who are going through a tricky time in the Premier League, quickly identified Gomes as the solution to their needs. Wolves, bottom of the English championship, have just lost Marshall Munetsi on loan to Paris FC. Gomes’ versatile profile, capable of playing both in a double pivot and more advanced on the pitch, perfectly matches the immediate needs of the team, which is looking to strengthen its midfield to avoid a descent to the Championship.
For Angel Gomes, this loan represents an opportunity to relaunch his career in the Premier League, where he had already played with Manchester United before his successful spell at Lille. Despite his potential and his status as a promising player, he never managed to obtain an indisputable starting place in Marseille, and this experience at Wolverhampton will allow him to find playing time and prove his value. The operation puts an end to a period of uncertainty for the player and for OM, who are parting ways with a talent under contract but who was no longer part of De Zerbi’s plans, while allowing Gomes to relaunch in his native country.
