Arsenal and Chelsea of London have both reportedly taken notice of William Gomes from Sao Paulo, with both clubs considering him for potential transfer into their Premier League squads in future transfers. At 18-years-old Gomes can play as both an attacking midfielder or winger, making him attractive to scouts at both clubs who have seen his recent performances draw their notice.
William Gomes has proven he can handle the pressures of more competitive leagues, fitting comfortably into either Arsenal Stadium or Stamford Bridge’s style of play. There has even been talk that William could soon move to one of Europe’s premier clubs.
Both Mikel Arteta of Arsenal and Enzo Maresca of Chelsea, managers known for their Pep Guardiola-influenced football philosophy, might be looking to tempt Gomes into their fold as they aim to bolster their attacking options. The presence of such managers could indeed make the Premier League an appealing destination for the young talent.
Choosing Between Arsenal and Chelsea: A Difficult Decision for Gomes

William Gomes appears to be well on his way, yet where his future will lead remains to be seen. It will be interesting to observe which London club takes his choice should the decision have to be made between Arsenal and Chelsea.
