Potentially Filling Miguel Almiron’s Shoes Down The Line.
After securing the signing of young Georgian talent Vakhtang Salia, Newcastle United, supported by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), has reportedly opened discussions to sign another promising prospect, Brazilian winger William Gomes from Sao Paulo. This proactive recruitment drive, led by sporting director Paul Mitchell, comes as Newcastle seeks to build a strong future roster following a challenging summer transfer window.
In a recent statement, Mitchell highlighted Newcastle’s dedication to scouting globally to stay competitive within the Premier League’s financial regulations. He noted the club’s success in acquiring Salia, despite interest from other top clubs, as part of its mission to build a sustainable future with fresh talent.
With PIF’s support, Newcastle’s recruitment efforts have quickly turned to Gomes, an 18-year-old with exceptional dribbling abilities. Described as a “dribbling monster” by U23 scout Antonio Mango, Gomes is gaining attention for his potential as a future star, although he may initially develop further before entering Eddie Howe’s lineup. Already marking his presence with two senior goals this season, the teenager has the potential to become a long-term solution for Newcastle’s winger position, potentially filling Miguel Almiron’s shoes down the line.
