Valencia have confirmed the permanent signing of Andre Gomes from Benfica on a five-year contract.
The Portuguese midfielder arrived at Mestalla last summer and went on to make 37 appearances as Los Che qualified for the 2015-16 Champions League playoffs courtesy of a fourth-place finish in La Liga.
Consequently, the club have now announced on their official website that the 21-year-old has put pen to paper on a long-term deal.
“I am very happy to belong completely to the Valencia family,” he told en.valenciacf.com.
“I have always been calm about things, because what I wanted was to continue here and it is what the club wanted as well.
“I can only thank the fans and my teammates for making me so happy. Now I hope to repay the confidence placed in me by playing good football and achieving good results.”
