Diego Gomez
23-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
Struggles in defeat
Gomez had one shot (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 loss against France.
ANALYSIS
Gomez played 71 minutes in a central midfield spot against France, with his performance marked by a negative impact as he committed a penalty kick before leaving the field. Other than that, he accrued defensive numbers, extending a run of four World Cup matches with multiple tackles. Still, the tournament ended for Paraguay, and he was unable to record a goal or assist. Despite playing as a winger for Brighton during most of the 2025/26 season, Gomez found himself in a more centralized role with his national team, though that position didn't allow him to exploit his offensive qualities.

Gomez has been very vocal about his desire of moving to Europe, and Brighton could give him the chance to do so. The playmaker is actively talking with Brighton, and if he joins the Seagulls, he'd be teammates with another Paraguay international, Julio Enciso.
