Wolves tour diary day four: Joao Gomes move to Aston Villa and England frustration | OneFootball

Day four of Wolves’ pre-season tour was dominated by Joao Gomes’ impending switch to Aston Villa, set against lingering frustration after England’s semi-final against Argentina.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, the midfielder missed the morning session and flew back to England for a medical, with the deal valued at up to £38 million.

In the context of this summer’s midfield market, the fee seemed on the low side for Wolves. The club also needed to move on after a proposed switch to Atletico Madrid collapsed, allowing focus to shift to other outgoings and incomings.

A daily video update centred on Gomes’ move, which shocked many supporters, before a sit-down with Yerson Mosquera at the team hotel. The defender discussed last season, his development and his Wolves future, plus his relish for battles and a South American edge, with the full interview to follow online and in print.

It was another double session for the squad, with evening work on the pitch after a tough morning run-out. After taking in another Cesar Peixoto training session, it was back to the apartment for a busy stint at the desk and a quiet night ahead of the final two days of the tour.
