🐣 Young talent of the week: Diego Gómez 🇵🇾 | OneFootball

Every week, OneFootball introduces you to the new gems of world football. This Tuesday, we head to England to talk about a midfielder who is already making a splash in the Premier League.

At just 21 years old, Diego Gómez is emerging as the revelation of Brighton at the start of this season. Arriving this summer from Inter Miami, a team of a certain Léo Messi, the Paraguayan international seems to have already adapted to English football. A box-to-box midfielder, he is capable of recovering balls, but is especially impressive for his offensive contribution, his ball striking and his forward projections.

With his solid build (1m83) and impressive running volume, Gómez excels in intensity. His long-range shots, already promising in his past experiences have become devastating for the Seagulls. Evidence of this is his exceptional quadruple scored in the Carabao Cup last week!

In the national team, he already has about ten caps with Paraguay, confirming his status as a great hope of the country. Regular and reliable despite his young age, he shows a maturity that suggests a future at the highest level.

Courted by several European clubs as early as this summer, displaying exceptional advanced statistics (see below), it is quite logical to see Diego Gomez continue his progression at Brighton, a club specializing in the development of young players.

A powerful, complete and modern midfielder who combines physical impact, tactical intelligence and huge ball striking. Diego Gómez has everything to establish himself as one of the great midfielders of tomorrow.
