​DONE DEAL: Wolves confirm signing of Matheus Nunes from Sporting CP

Wolves have completed the signing of Sporting CP midfielder Matheus Nunes.

The 23-year-old is a massive talent and admired by scouts around Europe.

The Premier League club have stolen a march on several rivals, pipping West Ham United and others to his signature.

"We are very happy to welcome Matheus to Wolverhampton, and delighted to add another exciting young talent to Bruno's squad," Wolves chairman Jeff Shi told the club's official website.

"Matheus has had two excellent seasons at the top level in Portugal with Sporting and is widely regarded as one of the most exciting prospects in world football, so we are thrilled that he has chosen the Premier League and Wolves as the next step in what we hope will be a fantastic career."

Nunes managed 31 appearances for Sporting in 2020-2021, when they won the Portuguese league, and was outstanding in 2021-2022 as well.
