Angel Gomes joins OM: choice influenced by Greenwood

Angel Gomes arrives at OM: an appealing gamble for our midfield

Friends, it’s now official: Angel Gomes is a Marseillais! Presented this Friday at the Robert Louis-Dreyfus center, the English attacking midfielder joins from LOSC to strengthen Roberto De Zerbi's squad. So, is it a good or bad move for our OM? Let's break it down together.

A thoughtful choice and a true desire to establish himself in Marseille

Gomes himself said it: he had other offers on the table, notably in England. However, it was the Marseille project and the call of the Vélodrome that made the difference. Can you feel this attachment to the Phocean environment? He talked about the coach, the stadium, and of course... us, the supporters. It’s heartening to see a player who isn’t just coming for the paycheck but wants to be part of a real story with OM.

A promising partnership with Mason Greenwood

Another significant point: Gomes' arrival wasn’t by chance. He’s known Mason Greenwood since childhood; the two grew up together on English pitches. In fact, Gomes doesn’t hide that his "little brother" Mason played a role in his decision. We expect a lot from this connection: it could create real chemistry on the field, right? Can you already imagine the combinations between the two? Tell us in the comments if you think this duo can become the new attraction of the season!

The De Zerbi project is taking shape... both sportively and financially

This recruitment perfectly fits Pablo Longoria’s strategy: betting on young, technical profiles already familiar with Ligue 1. Gomes brings explosiveness, creativity, and a real ability to break lines. But let’s be honest, questions remain: will he manage to secure a spot in De Zerbi's eleven? And what about the cost of the operation, knowing Lille never gives anything away in the market? If the investment is substantial, it will need to pay off sportively as early as this season. We’re taking the risk, friends, but there’s clearly tremendous potential to develop here.

And now: what expectations for Gomes at OM?

With this Gomes-Greenwood duo and the Vélodrome atmosphere, we all want to believe! But beware, Marseille’s pressure spares no one: Gomes will quickly need to find his feet and meet expectations. So, what do you think? Does this recruitment excite you, or are you skeptical? Let's discuss in the comments: is OM making the right choice with Angel Gomes?
