João Gomes Aston Villa Shirt Number 2026/27: What Number Will He Wear?

What shirt number will João Gomes wear at Aston Villa?

As of 27 July 2026, Aston Villa have not confirmed João Gomes’ squad number for 2026/27. The Brazil international completed his move on 20 July and his number is expected to be published during pre-season, in line with how Villa handled their other summer arrivals. Nothing has been announced yet.

How much did Aston Villa pay for João Gomes?

Villa signed Gomes permanently from Wolverhampton Wanderers in a package reported at an initial £34 million, rising by a further £4 million through add-ons. The 25-year-old midfielder had built a reputation in the Premier League as one of the division’s most relentless ball-winners during his spell at Molineux.

Why did Aston Villa sign João Gomes?

Villa spent the summer rebuilding a midfield hollowed out by departures and injury. Youri Tielemans left for Manchester United and Amadou Onana suffered an ACL injury, while Morgan Rogers was sold to Chelsea. Gomes arrives alongside club-record signing Johan Manzambi as part of that reconstruction.

When will Villa confirm his number?

Premier League clubs must register squad numbers before their opening fixture, and Villa confirmed Johan Manzambi’s No. 44 within days of his arrival. On that pattern, Gomes’ number should follow shortly. Until the club publishes it, any specific figure is speculation.
