DONE DEAL: Wolves bolster attack with deal for Valencia winger Guedes

Wolves have secured the signing of Goncalo Guedes from Valencia in a deal worth £20.5m.

The Portugal winger becomes Wolves' second signing of the summer, penning a five-year deal with his new club.

Chairman Jeff Shi said: "We have been monitoring Goncalo for a long time and are very pleased to welcome him to Wolves. He has natural talent and has performed very well across Europe and for his country, and we think he is well suited to the Premier League.

"We are always looking to improve the squad with high quality, and have been patient to make sure we got the right player. Goncalo worked with Bruno at Benfica and played with many members of our squad previously, so we're confident he will settle quickly into the group here.

"Very few transfers are ever straightforward, and this was no exception, with a number of clubs trying to secure the player right up until the last minute. Now, we are delighted that Goncalo is a Wolves player and look forward to giving him a warm welcome at Molineux this Saturday."
