José Gomes (born 8 April 1999), known as Zé Gomes, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Italian club Seregno as a striker.[1]

Club career[]

Born in Bissau, Gomes, after participating in a 2011 youth tournament in Portugal, returned to the country a year later to join Benfica's youth academy at the age of 13.[2][3][4]

Gomes made his professional debut with Benfica B in a 2016–17 LigaPro match against Cova da Piedade on 6 August 2016.[5] 22 days later, he scored his first goal for the reserve team in a 2–1 away win at Vizela.[6] He debuted for the first-team, playing only 128 seconds, in a 2–1 win at Arouca in Primeira Liga on 9 September, becoming Benfica's third youngest player to debut for the main team.[7]

Gomes was loaned to fellow top-flight team Portimonense for 2019–20.[8] Having made only one substitute appearance against Gil Vicente, he headed to Lechia Gdańsk of the Polish Ekstraklasa in February 2020, for the rest of the season.[9] He managed only one goal during his time on the Baltic Sea coast, in a 3–2 loss away to Lech Poznań on 12 July.[10]

On 15 February, Gomes moved to Bulgaria, signing with Cherno More.[11]

On 4 February 2022, Gomes signed with Italian Serie C club Seregno[12]

International career[]

At the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, Gomes was crowned both Golden Player and top scorer.[13][14]
