Tote António "Toti" Gomes (born 16 January 1999) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back or left-back for Premier League club Wolverhampton Wanderers. Born in Guinea-Bissau, he plays for the Portugal national team.

Club career

[edit]

Gomes made his LigaPro debut for Estoril on 5 May 2019 in a game against Académico Viseu.[3]

On 2 September 2020, Gomes was signed by English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers and immediately loaned out to Swiss Challenge League side Grasshopper Club Zürich for the 2020–21 season.[4][5] His first appearance for the Swiss club was a start in the opening game, against Winterthur, which Grasshopper won. His scored first goal for the Swiss side during a 5–2 loss against Kriens.

After a successful campaign with the Swiss club, which saw them promoted to the Swiss Super League, Gomes returned to Grasshoppers on another season-long loan.[6] He spent the first half of the 2021–22 season at Grasshopper but was then recalled by his parent club to spend January training at Wolverhampton before a potential return to Switzerland.[7]

With Romain Saïss away at the Africa Cup of Nations, Wolverhampton recalled Gomes at the same time as signing his Grasshoppers teammate, Hayao Kawabe. Gomes made his Wolverhampton Wanderers début in Saïss's position on 15 January 2022 in a 3–1 Premier League victory over Southampton at Molineux.[8] On 21 March 2022, Gomes signed a new contract with Wolves until 2027.[9] Toti scored his first goal for Wolves, and his first goal in the Premier League, on 6 May 2023 against Aston Villa at Molineux: it turned out to be the only goal of the game as Wolves won 1–0.[10]

Toti made his 50th competitive appearance for Wolves in a 4–2 win away to Chelsea in the Premier League on 4 February 2024.[11]

On 8 February 2024, Wolves announced Toti had signed a five-and-a-half-year contract extension keeping him at Wolverhampton Wanderers until 2029.[12]

International career

[edit]

Eligible for both Guinea-Bissau and Portugal, Gomes represented Portugal at under-20 level. On 29 May 2023, Gomes was called up to the Portugal senior national team for the first time, for Euro 2024 qualifiers against Bosnia & Herzegovina and Iceland.[13]

Gomes made his senior debut for Portugal on 16 November 2023, starting and playing the full match in a 2–0 away victory over Liechtenstein, during qualifying for UEFA Euro 2024.[14]
