The arrival of Angel Gomes at the Olympique de Marseille arouses great interest, particularly underlined by Jean-Philippe Durand, the former sports director of the club. Durand, in an interview with La Provence, describes Gomes as a versatile and talented player whose ability to integrate into a three-way environment is particularly appreciated. He sees it as a valuable asset to complete the Højbjerg-Rabiot duo, thanks to its vision of the game and its technical quality, which can thus link the different phases of the game.

The 24-year-old English midfielder has already demonstrated his value in his last two seasons at LOSC, where his versatility and ability to read the game have been regularly praised. His profile fits perfectly with the game philosophy put in place by Roberto De Zerbi, who favours fast ball circulation and technical players in the middle of the field. The arrival of Gomes is part of a strategy to strengthen complementarity with players such as Højbjerg and Rabiot, potentially forming a three-way balance between defensive rigor, game volume and technical finesse.

Beyond its immediate qualities, the acquisition of Angel Gomes represents a medium-term investment for OM. This recruit, under contract until 2029, is part of a sustainable construction policy around a more fluid and offensive game, characteristic of the game style desired by the current coach. His performances during the friendly matches at Peace Bas have already confirmed his technical ease and his ability to fluidize the game, suggesting an important potential for the club’s future.
