De Zerbi's system places heavy emphasis on ball retention and progression, and Gomes' comfort in tight spaces has allowed him to adapt to multiple demands within that structure."
"From a statistical standpoint, Gomes' recent seasons in France highlight why clubs remain keen. During his final campaign at Lille, he ranked among the team's top players for progressive passes and chances created from open play, while also maintaining a high pass-completion rate for an advanced midfielder. Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently pushing hardest for his signature, having already opened discussions. However, West Ham are not alone in monitoring the situation."
