During his time at Wolves, Gomes, who had initially joined the club from Flamengo in January 2023, showcased his skills and was a key player. However, after the disappointing season, he attended Wolves’ preseason camp in Portugal but returned to England as negotiations with Aston Villa intensified.
Impact at Aston Villa
