Presentation

The arrival of Angel Gomes on a free transfer from Lille is a masterstroke by the management. He is the headline of this "English revolution" expected to bring a technical advantage and a new dimension to the project. At 24, he comes with solid experience in Ligue 1, maturity acquired in Portugal, and even minutes in the Champions League. 

The player is a pure creator, an exceptional technician. His small stature (1.68m) is an asset: his low center of gravity makes him incredibly agile and resistant to pressing. He's the kind of player who thinks faster, sees spaces before others. His versatility allows him to evolve as an organizing sentinel, a box-to-box midfielder, or a number 10, making him an ideal profile for De Zerbi's possession and positional play. He knows when to hold, when to accelerate, when to break a line.  

Last season at Lille, he was one of the best creators in the league, finishing with the highest number of assists for his team in 2023/24 and maintaining remarkable passing accuracy. His advanced stats confirm him as an elite creator (0.22 xAG/90, 93rd percentile in his last full season at Lille). He's not there to score, but to make others score.  

His challenge this season will be to acclimate to the unique pressure of the Vélodrome. His talent is evident, but the Marseille context is a different ballgame. He will have to prove that his creativity can thrive in the Olympian cauldron and that he can be the essential technical link between our midfield's power and our attackers' talent.
