Gomez, a product of FC Dallas’ academy, made four appearances with USL affiliate North Texas SC this season scoring one goal. His brother Jonathan also plays for North Texas SC.
He will be seeking his first U.S. U-20 appearances this September under Tab Ramos, in friendlies against Croatia and the United Arab Emirates.
Gomez will be the second American player to head to Portugal, joining Benfica’s Keaton Parks who is currently on loan with NYCFC.
Him and Ledezma look like twins and they both have the same hairstyle. Hope he gets plenty of playing time, Americans have a habit of not doing so well in Portgual.
