Wolves have secured promising young forward Fer Lopez as their initial acquisition of the summer.
The 21-year-old Spaniard has transferred on a permanent basis from La Liga club Celta Vigo, where he emerged into the first-team last season.
Lopez, a left-footed offensive player who can be deployed on the right or in a central position, has signed a five-year agreement at Molineux and now follows Jorgen Strand Larsen in relocating from Vigo to Wolverhampton.
The young talent, who turned 21 last month, is a product of the Celta Vigo youth system and, after excelling for Gran Pena and Celta B, was granted his chance following a new contract last summer.
Lopez made his senior debut last October in a 5-1 Copa Del Rey triumph over UD San Pedro, while his first goals came in the next round against Salamanca CF, as he scored a brace in another decisive victory.
The youngster’s reward was a La Liga debut three days later against RCD Mallorca and, after recovering from a minor injury, he participated in all but two La Liga matches since February.
La Liga goals followed for the Spaniard – the winner in the return Mallorca match, after a run from deep, and the opener at home to Villarreal from close range.
Now, with 20 senior Celta Vigo appearances, Lopez returns to the UK, where he previously spent time through education in Suffolk prior to his return to Spain.
Lopez said: “It’s an amazing opportunity for my career to play in the Premier League, and I’m very happy. Vitor told me he thought I was a good fit in the squad and when it’s a club like this, you have little to think about. The team did very good when Vitor came and I think he is top, so I’m very excited to be with him.
“Jorgen told me that to play in the Premier League and with a team like Wolves, it’s amazing, and that the fans were incredible. He told me that I should come, and that with the gaffer and all the teammates, the style of play was going to be very good. We’re going to play good football, attractive football, and I think I can fit in there.
“To finish seventh in La Liga was amazing and in my breakthrough year, I cannot explain with words, because it was everything I had dreamed of. I played at the Bernabeu twice, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid – they were the best atmospheres in Spain and now I want to do the same, but in England.”
