Sign up now.\n\nClubs across Europe are now keeping tabs on the youngster with AS reporting United, Arsenal and Newcastle United have enquired into his availability this summer.\n\nRoma and Atletico Madrid are also admirers but so far there have been no firm offers.\n\nPorto are aware of the growing interest and are eager to keep him at the Estadio do Dragao for at least one more season. He has a release clause of €80million (£69m).\n\nGomes has drawn comparisons with Luis Diaz (Picture: Getty)\n\nBut AS report the Portuguese giants could be willing to negotiate a fee for less than half of that clause.\n\nGomes has been talked up as a left-footed Diaz with his dribbling ability, speed and powerful shot among his best attributes.\n\nWhile capable of playing on both flanks, he has predominately operated on the right wing this season, cutting in on his left foot to great effect.\n\nGomes helped Porto clinch the title (Picture: Getty)\n\nUnited have been busy looking at Brazilian talent this summer with a fee agreed for Atalanta midfielder Ederson. The 26-year-old has agreed personal terms and a move to Old Trafford could be finalised before the end of the week.\n\nReports in Brazil however have also claimed United are also interested in Botafogo star Danilo. The midfielder spent two seasons at Nottingham Forest before returning to his homeland but is now keen to return to Europe.\n\nUnited are said to have made an offer for Danilo with Milan, Atalanta and Zenit St Petersburg also credited with interest.\n\nComment now Comments \nAdd Metro as a Preferred Source on Google\nAdd as preferred source\n",
