Pedro António Pereira Gonçalves (born 28 June 1998), also known as Pote,[2] is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Sporting CP.

Club career

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Born in Chaves, Gonçalves signed a two-year contract with English club Wolverhampton Wanderers in July 2017, from Valencia CF.[3] He made his only competitive appearance for the first team on 28 August 2018, in a 2–0 away win against Sheffield Wednesday in the second round of the EFL Cup, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Elliot Watt.[4]

Famalicão

Gonçalves returned to Portugal on 2 July 2019, joining newly promoted F.C. Famalicão on a five-year deal alongside teammate João Caiado.[5] He made his Primeira Liga debut on 10 August, playing the entire 2–0 victory at C.D. Santa Clara.[6] His first goal was scored one month later, helping the hosts beat F.C. Paços de Ferreira 4–2.[7]

During his spell at the Estádio Municipal 22 de Junho, Gonçalves scored seven times in all competitions from 40 appearances.[8]

Sporting CP

On 18 August 2020, Gonçalves agreed to a five-year contract with Sporting CP of the same league.[9] With two goals in a 4–0 win over C.D. Tondela on 1 November, he reached five goals in his first six league games, second-best in the league.[10] On 5 December, he scored and was sent off in a 2–2 draw at his previous club; this was his tenth goal over six consecutive matches.[11]

International career

Gonçalves earned his first cap for Portugal at under-21 level on 4 September 2020, in a 4–0 win in Cyprus for the 2021 UEFA European Championship qualifiers.[12][13] On 13 October, in another away fixture for the same competition, he scored twice against Gibraltar (3–0).[14]
