Gracia plans talks with Gomes to convince Watford keeper to continue playing

The Hornets boss is keen for his Brazilian shot-stopper to be a part of his squad in the 2019-20 season

Javi Gracia has revealed that he plans to sit down with Heurelho Gomes in the coming weeks to speak about the goalkeeper’s future in football.

The Spanish manager has deployed Gomes exclusively in the domestic cup games, with his strong performances contributing to Watford’s run to the FA Cup final, which will take place this Saturday.

Gomes had previously said that he is 99 per cent sure that he will hang up his boots at the end of this campaign, but Gracia believes that he can be convinced to stay on.
