William Gomes resists interest and establishes himself at FC Porto | OneFootball

William Gomes started the first three games finding his rhythm, but then showed his “killer” instinct, scoring against Arouca, Académico de Viseu and Moreirense. On Friday, he was decisive in securing all three points and was ultimately named man of the match, thanks to a goal and an assist. Since arriving at FC Porto, he had only managed that feat once before, last season, against Arouca.

The winger had a busy summer break, marked by several rumours linking him mainly with English clubs. However, he resisted the interest and the club’s board did not receive any formal offer. He therefore began a season that could represent his definitive breakthrough and open even more doors for him within a year, especially as he will have the chance to play in the Champions League.

Standing out against Moreirense, William was denied one of his trademark goals by André Ferreira, with a curling shot after cutting inside. Shortly afterwards, he delivered a perfect free-kick onto Bednarek’s head, allowing him to level the score, before completing the comeback in the second half. The two assists he has so far – the other came against Arouca – mean he has already matched the total he managed throughout last season.
