Arsenal and Chelsea have their scouts monitoring William Gomes. They may make a move for the Brazilian wonderkid in the upcoming transfer market. The player’s current club may be open to sell him for right amount.
William Gomes currently plays for Sao Paulo in Brazilian League. He is 18 years old and can play in variety of positions. He is very good when playing as a winger or as an attacking midfielder but can also feature as number nine when required.
Gomes has been able to break into the first team last year. He played 3 games foe Sao Paulo last year and has upgraded himself this year. He has played 12 games and has been able to find the back of the net 2 times.
All of his 2 goals have came in the League itself. Gomes has played 7 league games but has only started in 3 of them. He has played just 345 minutes but has been able to impact very highly whenever he has been handed a chance.
Arsenal and Chelsea keeping tabs on William Gomes
As per CaughtOffside, Arsenal and Chelsea are keeping tabs on the Brazilian winger. Sao Paulo can be open to sell their superstar if he receive a proper offer. The player too may be open to move as playing in Premier League will be a huge step up in his career.
Arsenal currently have the best chance to sign him. They are in desperate need of new attackers. In addition, they can guarantee Gomes with more playing time than that of Chelsea.
On the other hand, the Blues may convince the player by explaining their project. They have developed a system of signing young talents and converting them into world class stars. Gomes fits perfectly into that system.
Either way it will be huge step for Gomes in his career. More clubs are expected to join the race in the coming days. It will be interesting if any club takes this to next step and submits an official bid for the talented winger.
