No, I don't think so. He didn't play as a 10 for Valencia either, and according to Transfermarkt he didn't play as 10 for Benfica before he went to Valencia either. He is a 6 or a 8, and in Tottenham I really cannot see him anywhere else than in Dembeles position.
But we saw last weekend that Spurs need someone who can controll the ball in midfield. Someone who can take the ball down and dictate tempo. Gomes might be useful there.
He played further up for Valencia, not as a CM.
At Barcelona they used him in several positions. Incidentally, where he played best was RB. At CM and AM he was awful, and missed a lot of goals in a team that most of the games scores for fun
