Wolves Sign Midfielder Fer Lopez from Celta Vigo

Wolverhampton Wanderers have signed 21-year-old attacking midfielder Fer Lopez from Spanish La Liga club Celta Vigo on a five-year contract, marking their first signing of the summer transfer window. The deal, reportedly worth around £19 million ($26 million), follows the previous transfer of forward Jorgen Strand Larsen from the same club last year. Lopez made 20 appearances in all competitions for Celta last season, scoring four goals and contributing to the club's seventh-place finish in La Liga. A product of Celta's academy, Lopez spent time in England as a teenager and expressed excitement about playing in the Premier League under Wolves manager Vitor Pereira, who sees him as a good fit for the squad. Lopez also highlighted the encouragement he received from Strand Larsen about the Premier League experience and the club's attractive style of play. Wolves aim to strengthen their attacking options after the departures of key players like Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri, with the new season beginning against Manchester City on August 16.
