Under the guidance of Vitor Pereira, several Wolves players have experienced a positive transformation this season. While Matheus Cunha has been grabbing the headlines, the performances of João Gomes and André have also been earning recognition. However, one player who has quietly excelled but perhaps gone unnoticed is Toti Gomes.
The Portuguese international has played a crucial role in Wolves’ recent revival, drawing comparisons to William Saliba along the way. Despite his consistent contributions, Gomes had initially flown under the radar with past managers, including Bruno Lage.
Surprisingly, Lage admitted that he wasn’t even aware of Gomes’ existence until shortly before his debut in January 2022. Despite this rocky start, Gomes impressed with his calm demeanor, strong attitude, and adaptability on the pitch, ultimately proving his worth to the team.
Under Pereira’s guidance, Gomes has emerged as a key player for Wolves, particularly on the left side of the defense. Pereira has praised Gomes’ importance, highlighting the strategic advantage of having a left-footed player in that position. With Gomes providing cover and balance alongside his teammates, Pereira believes the team’s defensive and offensive capabilities have significantly improved.
Through Pereira’s mentorship and belief in his abilities, Toti Gomes has blossomed into a reliable and essential asset for Wolves, showcasing his talent and determination on the field.
