Ben Foster, a former Premier League custodian, says Wolves and Gary O’Neil now have a ‘great’ talent.
Wanderers have had a fantastic season thus far, yet their momentum has recently stalled due to several important players suffering injuries.
Wolves are winless in their last five games. Fans are encouraged by Matheus Cunha’s return to fitness, as he scored two goals against Nottingham Forest in his first start since coming back.
Hwang Hee-chan makes his comeback against the Reds.
Joao Gomes has been instrumental in filling in for key players who are absent.
Ben Foster has praised the Brazilian after a successful first full season at Molineux.
Ben Foster praises ‘amazing’ Joao Gomes feels Wolves have ‘a serious player on their hands’.
Despite arriving for the club from Flamengo for £15 million in January, he was mostly used as a bench player while Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, and Mario Lemina occupied midfield positions.
This season, Gomes has played alongside Lemina, wearing the number eight shirt.
He has made 32 appearances in all competitions and has often received accolades for his combative and tough efforts. Dave Edwards recently praised him as the best ball-winner he’s seen in a Wolves shirt, a sentiment shared by many supporters.
The Premier League has shared a new video on their YouTube page. It focuses on young players building a name for themselves in the top division, and Gomes is among those mentioned.
Ben Foster remarked about the star: “Fantastic season. Very good. Fantastic season for him and the Wolves. To integrate into a Gary O’Neil team, I believe you must give yourself over and work as a team member. You have to be confrontational. He enjoys regaining possession of the ball and moving forward from box to box.
“He’s the usual workmanlike Gary O’Neil player. Wolves are benefiting from it, and he is getting up the other side of the pitch while also scoring goals.
“They’ve got a serious player on their hands.”
