Coventry City make Angel Gomes move as budget transfer targeted for ex-Man Utd star Coventry City have issued a statement of intent by welcoming a number of fresh faces to their ranks as they prepare for their first season back in the Premier League in a quarter of a century Coventry City have made an enquiry to Marseille over the availability of Angel Gomes, with the Sky Blues potentially set to capitalise on Marseille's financial struggles. The Ligue 1 titans are looking to slash their wage bill this summer with sales of high-profile players, as a result of restrictive monetary struggles. Marseille have already offloaded Mason Greenwood to Fenerbahce in a deal worth up to £38million, with Newcastle United now pondering a move for Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as a replacement for an outgoing Bruno Guimaraes. And now, it appears as though City are eyeing one of the club's most exciting talents in Gomes, as they look to survive their first season back in the Premier League since 2000/21. L'Equipe claim that Coventry have made initial enquiries over the 25-year-old midfielder, who is keen on returning to the English top flight in the coming weeks. The consensus is that Marseille will not stand in Gomes' way should a suitable offer be made, given he is thought to be among the club's highest-earning players. Having graduated from the Manchester United youth academy in 2017, Gomes has now been plying in trade in Ligue 1 for half a decade.

He joined Marseille last summer, before making his way to Wolves in a half-season loan in February - the Midlands based club ultimately suffering relegation despite Gomes' best efforts. It comes as City have enjoyed a highly-fruitful window thus far, and are expected to welcome further fresh faces to their ranks ahead of September's transfer deadline.

The club made Frank Onyeka's loan from Brentford permanent at the turn of the window for an undisclosed fee, while they also snapped up Loum Tchaoauna in a deal with Burnley thought to be worth around £20m. A successful £17m transfer of Aurele Amenda from Eintracht Frankfurt followed, as well as a £22.5m move to Brighton's Carl Rushworth. Coventry's last bit of business thus far came on Friday evening, welcoming Caleb Yirenkyi from Nordsjaelland for an undisclosed fee.
