Portuguese winger Goncalo Guedes has himself long-since been spoken about as a potential departee from Valencia.<\/p>\n<p>The aforementioned Neto excelled on the opening day even though Bruno Lage\u2019s side were defeated 2-1 by Leeds United. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/19\/top-10-european-football-managers-watchlist\/\" target=\"_self\">Jesse Marsch<\/a>\u2019s men earned three points thanks to goals from Rodrigo Moreno, a former teammate of Guedes\u2019 with Valencia, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/07\/20\/usmnt-defender-chris-richards-crystal-palace\/\" target=\"_self\">USMNT<\/a> international Brenden Aaronson. Despite the attacking impetus from Neto, Morgan Gibbs-White and co, there is a lack of an out-and-out striker.

Guedes is exactly that, a winger. The 25-year-old is one of many very capable players who have had to leave <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/04\/psg-midfielder-wijnaldum-signs-for-roma\/\" target=\"_self\">Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> so as to play regular football.<\/p>\n<p>He has been the star at the Mestalla, alongside Ferran Torres and Carlos Soler, during his time there. That time has come to an end though as his move to the Premier League has reportedly been completed. \u201cLong term contract agreed, \u20ac32m plus add-ons to Valencia\u201d is the line from Fabrizio Romano.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/05\/nottingham-forest-morgan-gibbs-white-wolves\/\" target=\"_self\">Nottingham Forest Have Another Bid Rejected for Wolverhampton Wanderers Midfielder<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Valencia\u2019s Off-Field Issues Continue<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Current Valencia manager Gennaro Gattuso has seemed pretty resigned to the loss of the Portuguese winger for a while now. Problems with the hierarchy have seen several perfectly competent managers struggle in La Liga. Gattuso has had issues of his own so far as a manager and it seems things won\u2019t get any easier for him at the Mestalla.<\/p>\n<p>Talk remains of who they could bring on board, but it points more towards outgoings. Back in January, there were rumours of a few Tottenham Hotspur players being close to moving to Spain. Bryan Gil did make the move on loan whilst <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/30778\/12529778\/dele-alli-everton-sign-spurs-midfielder-permanently-in-a-deal-that-could-cost-40m\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dele Alli<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/01\/31\/tanguy-ndombele-return-lyon\/\" target=\"_self\">Tanguy Ndombele moved elsewhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Wolves weren\u2019t the most clinical side in the attacking third last term and there are few signs of that improving just yet. At the same time, the arrival of Goncalo Guedes for a sizeable fee is certainly a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Premier League returned to TV screens and football pitches around the country this weekend.
