A year later, it is difficult to prove João Gomes wrong. A Flamengo player in January 2023, the Brazilian midfielder had snubbed OL who had nevertheless shown significant interest in him. For his part, the player had never hidden his desire to join the Premier League, hence his choice to sign for Wolverhampton.
Today, the 22-year-old has established himself as a starter at Wolves and could already harbor new ambitions, while OL must focus on maintaining their position in Ligue 1. As suggested by Sky Sports this Saturday, Tottenham would have made the Brazilian one of their priorities in midfield, while the trail leading to Conor Gallagher seems to be cooling. Spurs are expected to pay at least €30 million for the player under contract until 2028 with Wolverhampton.
