Wolves tour diary day four: Joao Gomes heads to Aston Villa as England gloom lingers | OneFootball

Day four of Wolves’ pre-season tour was dominated by Joao Gomes moving towards Aston Villa and the bruising aftermath of England’s semi-final against Argentina.

An early run along the marina and beach helped to shake off the disappointment in stifling heat. According to ExpressAndStar.com, news then broke that Joao Gomes missed the morning session and flew back to England for a medical ahead of a move to Aston Villa valued at up to £38 million.

Against a buoyant midfield market, the price appeared low for Wolves, but with an Atlético Madrid switch having fallen through the club needed to press on with other business. A daily video update centred on Gomes’ switch, which shocked many supporters.

The writer had gone into the semi-final confident, believed Thomas Tuchel misjudged things while England were 1-0 up, and said online he would give Tuchel another Euros, a view that prompted debate.

Attention then turned to a sit-down with Yerson Mosquera at the team hotel. The defender discussed last season’s setbacks, his development, his Wolves future and his relish for duels shaped by his South American style, with the full piece to follow.

It was another double session for the squad, the second run-out in the evening after a hard morning, under Cesar Peixoto. Work continued back at the apartment before a quiet night to set up the final two days of the tour.
