Liverpool are reportedly battling rivals Manchester United and others for the signing of Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes this summer. Joao Gomes a fantastic summer option for Liverpool Gomes ticks so many boxes for Liverpool this summer, whether it is his age, his quality or the fact that he has proven himself in the Premier League.

The Brazilian has averaged 3.5 tackles per game in the league this season, showing how tenacious he is, while Wolves manager Rob Edwards has shown his appreciation for him, saying: “I think he’s a wonderful player and he’s shown real glimpses and a lot of good stuff since we arrived as well. But I think it’s been hard for him because in a team that has struggled at times or if you’ve not got the results, it can be challenging.

I understand it, but he really, really stepped up the other night and that’s the level that we want to see from him all of the time now.” At £60m, Gomes clearly isn’t a cheap option for Liverpool, but that still feels like a reasonable fee for a player of his ability in the modern game. He has accumulated over 30,000 followers on Twitter/X.
