“I’ve done it in Spain, I want to do the same in England” – Fer Lopez Has Won Wolves Fans Heart with This Heartfelt Message After Seal Deal to Molineux

Fer Lopez Delighted to Join Wolves as Vitor Pereira Lands First Signing of the Summer

Wolves have completed their first signing of the summer transfer window with the capture of Spanish winger Fer Lopez from Celta Vigo, marking the beginning of the Vitor Pereira era at Molineux.

The 20-year-old arrives in the West Midlands with high expectations, having shown glimpses of elite potential in La Liga last season. While the fee remains undisclosed, the deal is understood to be a permanent move and represents a clear signal of intent from Wolves as they look to reshape their squad under new management.

Lopez, who is represented by super-agent Jorge Mendes, had been on Wolves’ radar for several weeks, with talks accelerating earlier this month. The Portuguese influence at the club remains strong, and Mendes’ involvement once again appears pivotal in sealing the deal.

Speaking to the club’s official channels following the announcement, Lopez couldn’t hide his excitement at making the switch to the Premier League.

“It’s a dream come true to play in the Premier League,” Lopez said. “Wolves is a big club with great supporters and a clear project. I want to give everything for the shirt and help the team achieve great things.”

New boss Vitor Pereira, appointed earlier this summer to succeed Gary O’Neil, has made it clear he wants to build a side with pace, youth, and technical flair — and the addition of Lopez fits that vision neatly. The Spaniard is known for his agility, direct dribbling style, and an eye for goal, traits that Wolves fans will hope to see flourish in the English top flight.

Lopez made 18 senior appearances for Celta Vigo last season, contributing four goals and three assists in all competitions. Though he still lacks the consistency of a seasoned professional, his performances caught the eye of several scouts across Europe. Wolves moved quickly to secure his services amid reported interest from clubs in Portugal and Italy.

“I had other options,” Lopez admitted. “But once I spoke to the manager and understood the project here, the decision was easy. I feel like this is the right place for me to grow as a player.”

Pereira was equally pleased to get his man, describing Lopez as “a young player with great potential who can bring something different to our attack.”

The signing will be seen as a promising start to what is expected to be a busy summer of ins and outs at Molineux. With several first-team players linked with moves away and the squad requiring reinforcements across multiple areas, Lopez’s arrival could be the first of many under Pereira’s leadership.

Wolves fans will now be eagerly awaiting further additions, but for now, they can take heart in the ambition being shown by the club’s hierarchy and the enthusiasm of their new Spanish star.

“I can’t wait to play in front of the fans at Molineux,” Lopez added. “I’ve heard great things about the atmosphere. I’m ready to get started.”
