Wolves complete first summer signing with £19.5million forward deal

The 21-year-old attacker has become the club’s first signing of the summer after completing a medical at Compton Park earlier in the week, signing a five-year deal at Molineux.

Lopez will bolster boss Vitor Pereira’s attacking options following the early summer exits of Pablo Sarabia and Matheus Cunha.

A product of Celta Vigo’s academy, he is joining Wolves fresh from a breakthrough campaign in Spain, where he scored two goals in 17 league appearances and four goals in 20 matches in all competitions.

Lopez said:  “It's an amazing opportunity for my career to play in the Premier League, and I'm very happy. 

"Vitor told me he thought I was a good fit in the squad and when it’s a club like this, you have little to think about. The team did very good when Vitor came and I think he is top, so I'm very excited to be with him."

Lopez is the second player to move from Celta to Wolves in as many summers, following Jorgen Strand Larsen's switch last year and the pair were recently pictured together on holiday.

He said: “Jorgen told me that to play in the Premier League and with a team like Wolves, it's amazing, and that the fans were incredible. 

"He told me that I should come, and that with the gaffer and all the teammates, the style of play was going to be very good. We're going to play good football, attractive football, and I think I can fit in there.

“To finish seventh in La Liga was amazing and in my breakthrough year, I cannot explain with words, because it was everything I had dreamed of. 

"I played at the Bernabeu twice, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid – they were the best atmospheres in Spain and now I want to do the same, but in England.”
