Hugo Domingos Gomes is another signing for Mallorca

LOOKING to improve on a disappointing 16th place finish in the second division Real Mallorca has just made its fifth signing for the new season.
Following the arrival of highly rated German keeper Timon Wellenreuther on loan from Schalke comes another youngster, this time from Brazil.
Hugo Domingos Gomes, is being brought in to lead the defensive line. Despite his youth – he is just 19 – he dominates in the air, as he should being 1.87 metres tall, and is said to have a good shot. And like most Brazilians he is comfortable on the ball. He has arrived on a year’s loan from Sao Paulo with an option to buy at the end of that period.
Gomes has played for Brazil’s Under 20’s and was captain of every junior level at Sao Paulo.
With two more signings promised this week it looks like the club is trying hard to turn its fortunes round and push for promotion.
