Wolverhampton Wanderers have agreed a deal in principle to sign Marseille midfielder Angel Gomes on loan, with an option to buy, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The Molineux side are reportedly closing in on the former Manchester United starlet’s signing ahead of Monday’s transfer deadline, now waiting for formal steps.
Wolves will pay Marseille a reported loan fee of €1m and will have an option to make Gomes’ move permanent after the season for €7m.
Gomes is set to become Wolves’ first signing of the January transfer window, during which the club have loaned out midfielders Fer Lopez and Marshall Munetsi.

According to Romano, Wolves have agreed a deal in principle for Gomes’ late arrival from Marseille on loan, with a €7m option to make the deal permanent.
Gomes was heavily linked with a departure from Marseille this month, having struggled for regular minutes under manager Roberto De Zerbi in 2025/26.
The 25-year-old has played just eight minutes across Marseille’s last six league games and was not in the squad for the last two Ligue 1 matches.
Gomes only joined Marseille on a free transfer before the season from fellow Ligue 1 side Lille, where he spent five years after leaving Manchester United in 2020.
The midfielder was awarded his maiden call-up to the England squad in 2024 and has appeared four times for the Three Lions since, though none under current boss Thomas Tuchel.
