Wolves have completed the signing of Girona defender Santi Bueno.

Bueno joins Wolves for a €10m fee and on a five-year contract.

Wolves chief Matt Hobbs told the club's website: “This is a signing we've been working on for a while. Uruguay are renowned for producing world class centre backs. At 24 he's a good age, with a great football education coming through Barcelona B. We were one centre back short, so now we think in that group of four we've got a little bit of everything so we're really happy.

“His personality is one we look for in a player, driven, hungry, hardworking and humble, but with a bit of an edge and can play. He's a perfect fit for what we've been looking for.

“He's another right footer, so we've got two each now. He's six foot four inches and aggressive, as you'd expect from a Uruguayan centre back, but he can play too. He'll be our second youngest centre back, so is also one for the future, whilst being ready to go now.

“It gives us a good balance between the four on the pitch and what he brings, being a front-footed defender which we've seen is what Gary likes, and he can cover the space in behind. I've spoken previously about units and with the back four, he's the perfect complement for that."
