Andrés Gómez

Executive Summary

Andrés Gómez, born on 12 September 2002 in Quibdó, Colombia, operates as a left‑sided winger for Vasco da Gama. He is right‑footed, stands 170 cm tall and is tied to the club until 31 January 2031. The 2026 Série A campaign has seen him log 2,158 minutes, contribute five goals and two assists, and collect nine yellow cards plus a red card in a continental tie against Boca Juniors.

Playing Style and Key Attributes

Gómez attacks the flank with a low centre of gravity that lets him change direction sharply; his right foot delivers whipped crosses while he finishes comfortably with his left, a dual‑threat highlighted by the driven assist and left‑footed strike that sealed a 5‑0 win over Coritiba. He presses high, registering two high‑regain actions in that match, and stretches compact defences by hugging the touchline before cutting inside. Discipline remains a work‑in‑progress – the accumulation of bookings and a straight red suggest occasional mistimed challenges.

Career and Recent Context

He graduated from Millonarios’ academy, winning the 2022 Copa Colombia as the tournament’s top scorer before a €3.5 million move to Real Salt Lake in January 2023. A 13‑goal haul in the 2024 season triggered a €10 million transfer to Stade Rennais the following August. After a single Ligue 1 season he joined Vasco on loan in August 2025, helped the side reach the Copa do Brasil final, and made the switch permanent for €4.5 million in January 2026.

Transfers and Outlook

Continued production at the current rate could reignite interest from European leagues, but no concrete approaches have surfaced publicly. For now, his focus appears fixed on establishing himself as a regular starter for both Vasco and the national team.
