“Combative holding midfielder...”

Claudio Gomes joined City in July 2018.

The 18-year-old French defensive midfielder was previously with Paris Saint Germain, making five appearances for the Ligue 1 champions’ Under-23 side in the UEFA Youth League.

The highly-rated teenager, who turned 18 on Monday 23 July, has also represented France at various youth levels and is the current captain of Les Bleus’ Under-18s team.

Gomes is quick, strong and an excellent tackler with great vision and energy.

He made his first-team bow in a friendly against Liverpool in New Jersey, July 2018.
