CARLOS MENDES GOMES LEAVES LUTON TO SIGN FOR BOLTON
Luton attacker Carlos Mendes Gomes has left the club to sign for Bolton Wanderers.
The 24-year-old will join the Trotters on an undisclosed fee, and has signed a three-year contract with the Lancashire-based club.
Gomes is Bolton’s seventh new recruit ahead of the upcoming League One signing, and leaves Luton after joining the club from Morecambe in 2021.
The Senegal-born former Atletico Madrid trainee had arrived at Kenilworth Road after impressing for the Morecambe team that won promotion from League 2 in 2021, but struggled for game time with the Hatters, making 15 appearances in two seasons with the club, and spending last season on loan with Fleetwood Town in League One.
Bolton manager Ian Evatt told the club’s official website that he had maintained an interest in Gomes since his Morecambe season, and rated him as an important new recruit ahead of the new campaign.
He said, “He’s someone who has been on our radar for a long time and someone I have admired since that season together in League Two.
“This is an important deal for us and I’m grateful to the Board for allowing us to get it done.
“Carlos is coming to us from a Premier League club with experience of playing in the Championship and League One.
“He’s a proven performer in our current division and, at just 24, someone we believe is capable of going higher again and progressing on this journey with us.”
