This week, Angel Gomes was called up to the England squad for the first time in his career
Angel Gomes has opened up about the challenges he's faced since parting ways with Manchester United, but feels that his recent England call-up 'makes it all worth it'. The 24-year-old midfielder, who now plays for Lille, was named in the Three Lions squad by Lee Carsley earlier this week, alongside fellow newcomers Noni Madueke, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Tino Livramento.
"It was difficult leaving the club I was in since six and heading into the unknown really for me personally. From then it's been an uphill trajectory, but also with a lot of difficulties and difficult moments going through it, but being in this position now makes it all worth it." Reflecting on the journey to the top, Gomes said: "Playing for your country, you can wait as long as it takes, the moment you can represent them at the highest level, that's the highest you can have personally in your career."
The former United prospect said: "He's very honest, he's direct with his approach and is close to the squad and that helps as a player when a coach takes interest in not just you as a player, but as a person. One of the things he always says, is you give the best opportunity for yourself if you do well for your club.
