Wolverhampton Wanderers have signed Spanish attacker Fer Lopez from Celta Vigo.
The 21-year-old is Wolves' first signing of the summer as he agrees to a five-year contract, following Jorgen Strand Larsen in moving from the Spanish club to Molineux, and spoke to the official club website after the transfer was completed.
Lopez | ‘When it’s a club like this, you have little to think about’
"The club told me, and Vitor [Pereira] told me that they thought that I was a good fit in the squad," Lopez said.
"When it’s a club like this, you have little to think about. It's true, it was very hard to leave my boyhood club, but I was very pleased to come here and play in, with LaLiga I think, the best league in the world.
“Last season I played at the Bernabeu twice, I played Barcelona away, Atletico Madrid away – they were the best atmospheres in Spain. Now, I want to do the same, but in England.”
