Luton Town told to cough up £500,000 for Morecambe’s Mendes Gomes

Luton Town boss Nathan Jones ‘is bidding’ for Morecambe’s Carlos Mendes Gomes but ‘will have to find £500,000’, claims The Sun on Sunday (20.06.21, pg. 65).

Mendes Gomes, 22, is wanted by a number of clubs going into the summer.

The Spaniard who is famed for his time in the Atletico Madrid youth set-up shone for Morecambe last season, scoring in the play-off final to lift the Shrimpers into League One.

The club recently activated a one-year option on his deal as interest ramps up and now Alan Nixon writes that Luton Town are set to bid for the winger, but will have to pay £500,000 for his services.

Mendes Gomes has also been linked with Barnsley, Hull City, Sunderland and Rangers.

For Morecambe last season, Mendes Gomes made 46 appearances in the League One season and play-offs combined, scoring an impressive 16 goals and grabbing five assists.

All the transfer rumours surrounding him going into this summer an unsurprising and it looks likely that Morecambe will have to sell this summer after activating that one-year deal.

Luton Town have made a positive start to the window having beaten several teams to the signing of Allan Campbell from Motherwell and they could yet do the same with Mendes Gomes.

Jones’ side finished in 12th-place of the Championship table last season and with a few more signings, the Hatters could quickly become dark horses for a top-six spot going into the 2021/22 campaign.
