DONE DEAL: Wolves delighted landing Lazio pair Pedro Neto and Bruno Jordao

Wolves have secured the double signing of Portuguese youth international pair Pedro Neto and Bruno Jordao on long-term deals.

The promising duo, who were together at Braga before spending the last two years on loan at Lazio in Serie A, have put pen to paper on five-year contracts which see them develop while at Molineux until the summer of 2024.

Neto, 19, is a left-sided winger and Jordao, 20, is a midfielder.

Kevin Thelwell, Wolves' sporting director, said: “They're two very talented individuals in positions we're keen to add to.

“But with both Pedro and Bruno it's more about their potential for the future.

“We see signing young talent as a way forward; for example, Morgan Gibbs-White from the Academy, several other young players from the Academy who have been in the first-team recently, and Ruben Vinagre, who we signed at a very young age.

“We think these two guys are right up there at that level and have both got high potential to be successful here at Wolves. However, we expect it will take time for them to break into the first-team as they're so young and they're playing in a new country and a new environment, but we will try to integrate them into the first-team group as much as possible."
