Pedro Lima - What can Wolves fans expect from wonderkid?

Not a household name to many - what can Wolves fans expect from the highly-touted youngster?

What squad will Lima be involved with?

Lima will sign with Wolves when he turns 18 on July 1 subject to a medical.

He will go straight into Gary O'Neil's first team squad for the season.

Despite being eligible for the U21's, Lima is seen a strong first team option.

Wolves successfully integrated many youngsters last season with Tawanda Chirewa arguably the standout.

Lima will not be loaned out.

Where can he play?

Lima is predominantly a right-back and will compete with Nelson Semedo and Matt Doherty for a starting first team spot.

New signing Rodrigo Gomes has also had experience at right-back but is expected to play in a more advanced role for Gary O'Neil.

Semedo only has one-year left on his contract and an extension is yet to be offered by the club.

With the Portuguese international being one of Wolves' highest earners, there is speculation he could leave Molineux this summer.

What's Lima's playing style?

Don't let Lima's 5ft 7in frame fool you.

Lima is a tough-tackling right back with lightening speed who likes to get forward at every opportunity.

As expected, the Brazilian has is very confident with the ball at his feet and is often seen in the opposition box linking up with the forwards.

Lima has an eye for goal and already has two stunning strikes to his name, but is equally adept defensively and not shy to put in a heavy tackle.

But it's his composure on the ball at such a young age that is a real standout.

What do the scouting experts say?

'Concept Scouting' agree that this is a hugely exciting move for Wolves fans.

"Lima is the definition of a raw, jack-in-the-box fullback," said the network.

"His future may well end up further up the pitch if his positional heatmap is anything to go by.

"One of his most impressive movements, linking well with teammates several times resulting in a shot on goal, showing both defensive and offensive ability."

"A key part of defensive, offensive and transitional movements - he’s destined for a bright future."

How will Lima settle in Wolverhampton?

Lima will have a huge support network when arriving at Molineux.

The youngster has been in constant dialogue with fellow Brazilian Matheus Cunha.

Cunha was credited as being a huge influence on Lima's decision to join the club.

“Born in the same city, and now a teammate! I hope I can help you with your adaptation and see you delighting our fans! Welcome!" wrote Cunha on social media.

Joao Gomes will also be another countryman to help Lima adapt as quickly as possible.

Does Lima have senior experience?

Despite his young age, Lima forced his way into the Sport Recife first team last season making eight appearances in Serie B.

He made his debut in the 2-0 win over Afogados before scoring just three days later.

Lima instantly won high praise from supporters and media alike while continuing his excellent form finishing the season to rave reviews.

Does the defender have any international experience?

Brazil have already come calling.

Lima was a regular for his country in the recent U17's World Cup.

He started all five matches at right-back during the competition.

Summary

Lima is young, raw, but a hugely exciting talent.

It's going to be a big learning curve moving countries and adapting to the Premier League.

Remember it took Matheus Cunha, a player seven years Lima's senior, a good six months to get to grips with the league.

Saying that, this youngster is a little bit special - don't be surprised if he has makes more that 10 first team appearances this season.

And that could well be on the low side should he start well.
