Scouting Report & Player Insights
André Gomes is a composed, deep-lying central midfielder for Wolverhampton Wanderers whose game is built on a clean first touch, tidy short passing, and calm circulation of possession rather than pace or power. Once a highly rated prospect at Valencia and Barcelona, his career was defined by resilience after a horrific ankle injury suffered at Everton in 2019, from which he fought back to regain his place. Now in the twilight of his Premier League career, he offers experience and control in midfield when fit, though durability remains a persistent concern.
Suffered a severe ankle dislocation and fracture playing for Everton against Tottenham in 2019, a serious career-threatening injury he recovered from.
Came through Benfica's academy before big-money moves to Valencia and then Barcelona.
Has earned senior caps for Portugal, including involvement in a major international tournament squad.
