The end of the road for Wolverhampton (ENG) in the Premier League. This Monday (20), West Ham (ENG) drew away to Crystal Palace (ENG), and João Gomes’ team, the former Flamengo player, has been mathematically relegated to the second division of English football.
West Ham are the first team outside the relegation zone and managed a goalless draw against Crystal Palace. As a result, the gap to Wolverhampton is now 16 points, with only five matches left to play until the end of the competition.
At the moment, Wolverhampton are bottom of the Premier League, with just 17 points. In 33 matches, they have recorded 22 defeats, eight draws, and three wins. In addition, they have the worst attack, with 24 goals, and the leakiest defense, having conceded 61.
Despite Wolverhampton’s relegation, João Gomes is having a positive season for the team. In fact, the former Flamengo player ranks fifth for the best average tackles per game in the Premier League, with three per match.
As a result, João Gomes has become a target for some of the biggest clubs in English and European football. Manchester United (ENG), Tottenham (ENG), Napoli (ITA), and Atlético de Madrid (ESP) are all keeping an eye on signing the former Flamengo player.
While the season in England is in its final rounds, Flamengo remain focused on their Copa do Brasil debut. João Gomes’ former team face Vitória this Wednesday (22), at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at the Maracanã, in the first leg of the fifth round.
