Gomes pens new five-year Wolves deal | OneFootball

Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes has committed to a new five-year contract at Molineux.

The Brazil international’s fresh deal also includes an option for an additional year.

Gomes arrived from his childhood club Flamengo in 2023 and has made 80 appearances for Wolves, 31 of which have been this season.

The 24-year-old has netted four goals this campaign, with Wolves sitting 17th in the Premier League, nine points clear of the relegation zone, ahead of Tuesday’s match against West Ham.

Speaking after Gomes had penned his new contract, Wolves head coach Vitor Pereira said: “I’m very happy because Joao is a team player. He gives every time 100%, in training, in the games, and he has the quality to help this team and this club to make the next step.”

“At the end of the game he’s given everything for the team, defending, attacking, supporting the team-mates, and this is what we need in our team, this is the spirit we need at this club. We must come to Wolverhampton with this hunger, this spirit to help the team, help the club to grow up.”

“He’s very important because he’s a midfielder with physicality and the power to run for 90 minutes, and he’s young. He has big potential and can be a top player.”
