Wolves seal £12.7m Rodrigo Gomes deal
Wolves have confirmed the signing of talented Portuguese under-21 international Rodrigo Gomes from Braga for £12.7m.
The 20-year-old, who is versatile and capable of playing at right-back, right wing-back as well as the right side of midfield has penned a five-year deal with a further one-year option in the club's favour.
The club had to fight off stiff competition for his signature with Spanish giants Atletico Madrid keen to land the youngster. Gomes spent last season on loan at Estoril, where playing as either a winger or right-wing-back, he notched nine goals and eight assists across 36 games in all competitions.
And now he has signed sporting director Matt Hobbs is delighted Gomes will be able to hit the ground running on the first day of training.
“It’s nice to do one early in the summer," he said. "So Rodrigo will be able to join the squad for the first day of pre-season, which is great for the player and the coaching staff – they can work with him from the start. He’s a great character, a great boy and will really fit in.
