Gabriel Davi Gomes Sara (born 26 June 1999), simply known as Gabriel Sara, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for EFL Championship club Norwich City. Sara has also been deployed as a deep-lying playmaker and a central midfielder in his career.[2]

Club career[edit]

São Paulo[edit]

Sara made his debut for São Paulo on 3 December 2017, in a 1–1 draw with Bahia, for the Brazilian Championship.

Sara departed São Paulo in 2022. He played 120 matches and scored 17 goals during his time at the club.[3]

Norwich[edit]

On 15 July 2022, EFL Championship club Norwich City agreed a £6 million transfer fee plus add-ons with São Paulo for Sara, with the player committing to a contract until 2026.[4] Sara made his debut for Norwich on 6 August 2022, coming on as a substitute for the injured Max Aarons in a 1–1 draw with Wigan Athletic. Sara scored his first goal for Norwich in a 3–2 loss to Preston North End, and scored again three weeks later in a 3–1 win against Stoke City at Carrow Road.

Sara would score again in Norwich's 3–1 win over Hull City[5] on 14 February 2023, before netting in back-to-back games in the Canaries' 2–0 win over Cardiff City,[6] and scoring the winner in a 3–2 victory away to play-off chasing Millwall.[7]

A goal and two assists across the first month of the 2023–24 season saw Sara named EFL Championship Player of the Month award for August.[8]
