The Portuguese Pedro Mendes becomes a new Almería signing for next 2020/21 season. He is a highly-rated centre-forward. Despite being 1.87 metres tall (6 ft 1in), the Guimarães-born striker will surely lead the team’s attack this season, along with No. 9 Juan Villar. The Huelva-born player is actually more versatile as he can operate as right-winger, left-winger and centre-forward. 

Pedro Manuel Lobo Peixoto Mineiro Mendes was born on 1st August, 1999 in the Portuguese town of Guimaraes. The 21-year-old has signed on loan from Sporting de Lisboa, although at the end of the season Almería will have an option to buy the skilled centre-forward. 

Pedro Mendes is Portugal Under-21s international and he was also promoted to the Sporting de Lisboa first-team last season, playing six games in the top-flight of Portuguese football and as many in the Europa League. Pedro Mendes is a ‘fox in the box’, a confident footballer upfront. In spite of his height, he is fast and performs outstandingly in attack, highlighting his aerial game.
