Valencia confirm Gomes signing from Benfica

Gomes played just 23 senior matches for Benfica last season in all competitions, missing just two matches as the Portuguese club advanced to the UEFA Europa League final, only to lose to Sevilla on penalties.

Having had limited opportunities under Benfica coach Jorge Jesus since being promoted to the senior squad in 2012, Gomes decided to leave the Estadio da Luz for Valencia's Mestalla with the La Liga club confirming the move on their website.

"Andre Gomes will take a relevant medical examination on Thursday, July 17 to become a new player of Valencia," a statement read.
