Scouting Report & Player Insights
André Gomes is a tall, technically composed central midfielder known for his ball-shielding, progressive passing and calm circulation of possession rather than dynamism or goal output. After stints at Valencia, Barcelona and Everton, where a horrific ankle injury in 2020 disrupted his career, he now plies his trade at Lille in Ligue 1 as an experienced deep-lying playmaker. His game relies on physical presence and passing range more than pace, which has visibly declined.
Suffered a severe ankle fracture-dislocation in a 2019 Premier League match for Everton against Tottenham that sidelined him for months.
Came through Benfica's academy before establishing himself at Valencia and later joining Barcelona.
