Daniel Podence admits Wolves beat Sevilla to his signing in January.
The Portuguese winger was snapped up by Wolves from Olympiacos.
Podence told O Jogo: "Coming to the Premier League made me a little anxious, but at the same time I felt very good at Olympiacos.
"I heard about Wolverhampton's interest around the 5th of January, at the same time that they also told me about Sevilla, but I ended up moving to England only on the 29th or 30th.
"I spoke with Rui Patrício, as we had already played together at Sporting, we are friends and he spoke to me very well about the club. It also made me come to England."
