After renewing with Sporting, Pote chases fresh honours at Alvalade | OneFootball

Pote could have the best season of his career in individual terms. Sporting’s number 8 is having a great season and is well on his way to once again making history with the Lions.

With 12 matches played, the Portuguese international has contributed to nine goals, making this already his second-best season at Sporting. The playmaker only achieved better numbers in 2020/21—when he was the league’s top scorer—with 11 direct goal involvements in the same number of games.

Pote’s debut season in the green and white stripes was also his most productive in front of goal. The Sporting player scored 23 goals, although he finished the season with only three assists.

Since then, Pote has become one of the indispensable footballers in Sporting’s squad, which led Frederico Varandas to renew the contract of the Vidago-born athlete. In addition to his huge offensive impact, Pedro Gonçalves is capable of playing in several positions, making him a valuable asset for Rui Borges.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Pedro Gonçalves—valued at 30 million euros—has already played 12 games: eight in Liga Portugal, two in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. During the 1,003 minutes he has played, the Lions’ number 8 has already scored six goals and provided three assists.
