Wolves have signed Dutch prospect Nigel Lonwijk from PSV Eindhoven.
The 17-year-old defender, who has made his international bow for the Netherlands under-16 side, arrives at Molineux after progressing into PSV's under-19 side earlier this season.
“We're continually looking for talented young players – it's very much the plan of the football club," academy chief Scott Sellars said. “To be able to get somebody of Nigel's quality across the line was really pleasing and we're delighted with the signing.
“He's very good physically, a good defender one-v-one, and has strong technical ability, so we very much see him fitting into how our system as an outside centre-back. He's got good physicality as well, so ticks the boxes in many of the things we're looking for in terms of our centre-back positions."
He added: “If Nigel settles in quickly, progresses and shows the quality in his performances to be pushed up then we're certainly a club that has no problem in challenging our young players and giving them an opportunity with a higher age group.
“We've got four under-18s in our under-23s squad every game at the moment and they're progressing really well, and that's very much part of the philosophy here at Wolves."
