EXCLUSIVE: Why Fabio Gomes ignored interest in Asia to sign with Sydney FC - as the striker looks to light up the A-League

Star A-League recruit Fabio Gomes has revealed why he chose Sydney FC as the next chapter in his football journey rather than pursue numerous lucrative offers in Asia.

The towering striker - who announced himself to Sky Blues fans earlier this month with a brace against Brisbane Roar in the Australia Cup Final - has settled in well in the Harbour City and is ready to leave his mark on the competition.

Gomes will experience his first 'Big Blue' on Saturday night versus Melbourne Victory - and the well travelled forward can't wait to again turn on the style at Allianz Stadium.
