Fulham are planning to persuade Marco Silva into signing a new deal by signing Tottenham-linked Lille star Angel Gomes
Tottenham Hotspur have faced consistent struggles this season in assembling a reliable midfield unit capable of executing Ange Postecoglou’s high-intensity, pressing style.
Neither Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison nor Yves Bissouma have been consistent over the course of the campaign, while Pape Matar Sarr has been in and out of starting XI. Lucas Bergvall has gradually grown into his role with time and performed well in the centre of the park, although it will be unjust to ask for consistency from a teenager in his debut season having arrived from a different league.
Club chairman Daniel Levy, known for identifying emerging talents and developing them into standout performers, appears to be now keen on signing LOSC Lille midfielder Angel Gomes.
Angel Gomes has not renewed his contract with LOSC Lille and is set to become a free agent after the conclusion of the ongoing campaign, and this has attracted interest from multiple suitors who are looking to take advantage of this situation and bring in a highly-rated player who can operate across the middle of the park.

Marco Silva could be a contender to replace Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham Hotspur.
Earlier this month, trusted Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano spoke about the situation of the England international, insisting that the player is ‘100%’ going to leave Lille, with the Premier League being one of the most concrete destinations.
Now, according to an exclusive report from TBR Football, Fulham have entered the race for Gomes and have held talks with his camp over what a potential deal to bring him to Craven Cottage could look like. Plus, he is among Marco Silva’s primary targets and the Cottagers would want to sign the Lille star to persuade their manager to stay put at the club.
Marco Silva is among the managerial candidates on the radar of Spurs should they decide to part ways with Ange Postecoglou at the end of the season. The Portuguese has done a very good job in West London, especially this season which sees Fulham competing for a place in Europe. They bolstered their hopes for a European spot by beating Spurs 2-0 at home last weekend. The West London side are also in the FA Cup quarter-finals, having beaten Manchester United in the penalty shootout at Old Trafford.

As a result, the Cottagers are worried of losing the 48-year-old, who is out of contract in the summer of 2026. To stave away interest from Spurs, Fulham are reportedly ready to open talks with Silva over a new contract. And to further persuade Silva in extending his stay at the club, the Craven Cottage chiefs have started working behind the scenes to sign Gomes.

This could be a double blow for Levy and Tottenham. Spurs have barely anything left to play in the Premier League, so Ange’s total focus appears to be on winning the Europa League. Regardless of what happens from now on and until the end of the season, we don’t feel the Australian will stay at the club to begin his third season.
And if Levy wants both Silva and Gomes at N17 next season, he may start laying the brickwork from now rather than wait until the summer.
