Transfer wrap: Thompson moves to United, Villa land Gomes
The 18-year-old winger scored 13 goals and six assists last season and United said he will have a chance to break into the first team.
- On Monday, Manchester United announced the signing of 18-year-old winger Tynan Thompson from Tottenham in a deal worth £8m, subject to registration.
- Thompson grew frustrated at a lack of first-team chances at Tottenham despite being named on the bench three times last season; personal family circumstances and a desire to relocate to Manchester also prompted the move.
- The £8m transfer comprises £4m upfront and £4m in performance-based add-ons, with Tottenham retaining a 15% to 20% sell-on clause and matching rights that may allow the club to re-sign Thompson in the future.
- Thompson is the latest academy talent to leave Tottenham this summer, following midfielder Alfie Devine's permanent £6m move to Championship side Preston earlier this month; United promised the teenager opportunities to compete for a first-team role.
- United's management welcomed Thompson to the club, saying "Everyone at United would like to welcome Tynan to the club and wish him the very best of luck for the future" as he begins his development at Old Trafford.
