Marco Silva Raised questions Over Andre Gomes’ Long Term Future

Marco Silva has put a big question over Andre Gomes’ long term Everton future.

After failing to prove himself at Barcelona, Gomes arrived at the Goodison Park on aseason long loan this summer. Silva took a big gamble by providing him a chanceto resurrect his career and now it seems the Portuguese was right to vouch forhis fellow countrymen.

Silva initially struggled to settle in the Premier League but gradually he has become a mainstay in the Toffees midfield. His man of the match display in the Merseyside derby speaks volumes about his quality and already there have been talks of making the loan deal permanent.

But Silva insists Silva’s future has been one of the priorities but some things need to be sorted out before. “I think at first, I agree, he is doing very well. Butwhat is most important for me is the team and the squad, I think it is not fairjust to talk about Andre.

“If Andre is doing well then he is helping our squad. He is getting better everytime, taking his responsibility in the squad is important for me as well.

“But if he is doing well it is because his teammates are helping him since the first day.

“He’s enjoyed his first two months but let’s see what we can do. We are working on that, I don’t know if I have answer in one week or two weeks.

“It is not something that it is in our hands. The best scenario to look at is – it is not just in our hands as a club, not just in the hands of Andre, there is a third party as well. Barcelona are included, let’s see when we can talk about the situation.”
