Wolves wanted their man and they got him.
They cast their eye on the winger for the first time in May 2020 in an under-17 international fixture against Germany and, by the time he made his Braga debut in October that same year, Gomes was a player Wolves were watching carefully.
The 21-year-old managed nine goals and eight assists across 36 games in all competitions and Wolves swooped early to secure his signature in a £12.7million move on June 12. On this occasion, Gomes wanted Wolves and perhaps just as important, was Wolves’ desire to sign Gomes.
