Tomás Romano Pereira Santos Händel (born 27 November 2000) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for the club Vitória Guimarães in the Primeira Liga.
Club career
Born in Guimarães, Händel was a youth player at local Moreirense and Vitória Guimarães. He signed his first professional contract with the latter on 27 March 2019, lasting until 2023 and with a buyout clause of €15 million.[1] He made his professional debut in a 4–1 Taça da Liga first round home win over Leixões on 26 July 2021; he played the full 90 minutes.[2] On 22 August, he played his first Primeira Liga game, the entirety of a 4–0 win over Vizela at the Estádio D. Afonso Henriques.[3]
In February 2022, Händel suffered a left thigh injury, ruling him out of the rest of the season and the start of the next.[4]
International career
Born in Portugal, Händel is of Austrian descent through his grandfather. He was called up to the Portugal under-19 team in February 2019,[5] but was not capped until playing three games for the under-21 team in late 2021, starting in a 1–0 win over Belarus in Amadora on 6 September.[6]
