Maxi Gómez

Peugeot


That Peugeot is just a tiny reminder of where he came from. He might have better cars now, but that's no reason to forget the past.

Uruguayan players are a unique breed. They bring in a mix of technical prowess and aggression to the game. This striker is no different. He captured the attention of quite a few top clubs, with his performances at Celta, but Los Che were his relentless suitors, and they signed him in 2019. He's the perfect target man for a club like Valencia, and his aerial ability makes him a genuine threat in the air. He spent his formative years with his hometown clubs Litoral, Estudiantil, and Huracán, before moving to Defensor Sporting's academy. His senior debut was for the Montevideo club too. His first move outside his country was to Celta in 2015, and a couple of years later, he has moved to a bigger club after he proved himself with 30 goals in the two years he spent with the Galician side. Although he's a physically gifted player, he's not the most agile on the pitch. We don't think there's much he can do about it considering how he uses his big frame to bully defenders. He's not the quickest player either, but if he improves his passing game, it will come in handy when he links up and participates in the buildup of play. This Uruguayan striker has never played for his nation's junior teams. He has been a member of the senior squad since 2017 and played in the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
