Rodrigo Gomes will win over fans fast, according to a trait that Wolves shared with the club when they unveiled his signing earlier this week.
Rodrigo’s transfer from SC Braga was agreed upon by Wolves and the player one week ago today. On Wednesday, the deal was formally finalized.
The team paid about £12.7 million, and 10% sell-on was negotiated by Braga.
The gifted 20-year-old joins on loan from Estoril, where he had an incredible season with nine goals and eight assists in 36 appearances. Gary O’Neil has called Rodrigo a “perfect” addition, and fans are eager to watch him perform.
Wolves were eager for fans to learn everything there was to know about Rodrigo once they signed him, and they’ve revealed something about his style of play that the crowd will surely enjoy.
Rodrigo Gomes will work his socks off until the end, regardless of the scoreline
Since O’Neil came in at Wolves, there has been a clear emphasis on working hard and leaving everything out on the pitch.
Last season, O’Neil received recognition for occasionally making Wolves play more visually appealing football. However, the team’s play off the ball also saw a significant improvement.
Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes were key players for O’Neil; as ball-winning central midfielders, they embodied the team’s spirit of determination. Additionally, it looks like Wolves have signed someone who is all about it.
One sentence in the club’s scout report regarding Rodrigo can be found on their official website: “Gomes would frequently be seen sprinting the entire length of the pitch when Estoril was winning in the ninetieth minute.” Some athletes wouldn’t go to that length, but he is hungry and driven.
A comparison is also made to Pedro Neto, with Rodrigo adopting the same ‘arched back running style’ as his compatriot.
Rodrigo will fit right inReading what Wolves have to say about Rodrigo is fascinating, and the statement that he always busts a gut in the 90th minute of a game is quite motivating. Supporters of the Wolves want to see athletes that represent them and their values.
That explains the immense popularity of players like Lemina and Gomes. Many people can relate to their workaholic personalities, and their dedication makes them simple to support.
It’s evident from what Wolves have spoken about him and from how he appeared on his first day at Compton that new acquisition Rodrigo is a very modest person.
He appears to be a perfect fit at Molineux, and perhaps he can make a significant contribution in his first term.
