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 now been mathematically relegated to the second division of English football.
West Ham is 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 before the end of the competition.
At the moment, Wolverhampton is bottom of the Premier League, with just 17 points. In 33 matches, there have been 22 defeats, eight draws, and three wins. In addition, the team has 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 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 remains focused on its debut in the Copa do Brasil. João Gomes' former team faces Vitória this Wednesday (22) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at the Maracanã, in the first leg of the fifth round.
