Wolves have clinched the signing of Barcelona winger Francisco Trincao on-loan with the option to buy.
The exciting 21-year-old joins on a season-long loan from La Liga giants Barcelona, subject to medical and work permit, with Wolves holding an option to make the move permanent in the future.
A full Portugal international, Trincao has played for his country alongside as many as six new Wolves team mates and will now experience the Premier League for the first time.
Trincao becomes the first signing of the Bruno Lage era.
Technical director Scott Sellars said: “He's a really exciting player. It's an area we'd like more competition, in terms of wide players. I think the fans are going to enjoy watching him play, he drives with the ball well and has good creativity.
“We've watched him a lot, especially over the last couple of months, so he's been on our radar for quite a while. He's got loads of quality – signing for Barcelona from Braga shows what potential he's got. He's 21 and has played quite a lot of games in La Liga, so we think he's ready for the Premier League.
“He's a player who drifts past people and he has a great change of direction when he's moving with the ball. He has great speed over two or three yards, to change direction and get away from people, can score and create, and is an exciting player."
