Angel Gomes will therefore evolve under the colors of Olympique de Marseille next season. The Marseille club formalized this Wednesday an agreement in principle concluded with the English midfielder.
The 24 -year -old will settle down on the Canebière after his contract with LOSC, June 30. And for his former coach with the DOGUES, Jocelyn Gourvennec, the vice-champion of France achieved a very good blow by recruiting the Londonian.
“He can adapt to all positions”
Gourvennec has not been praised in Provence Regarding the new Olympian recruit. “As soon as he touched the ball, he lit the game. Very intelligent, he positioned himself well, had a great Vista, a great pass quality. After four days, I told the president that it should not be lent him again because I wanted to see him with us, so much he had impressed me on the first training »said the Breton technician.
The former Olympian then underlined the qualities of adaptation and the tactical maturity of Angel Gomes, which he deems ideal to evolve in the Roberto de Zerbi system: “We tell him one thing, he understands right away. In Zerbi's organization and system, he will integrate everything very quickly because he has a very, very, very high football. I used it as a playmaker, who defended on the side and returned inside when we had the ball. As it is very intelligent, it can adapt to all positions. (…) Marseille likes this kind of player, technique, intelligent, creative. For me, it's a very good recruitment. »»
