Lopez follows Jorgen Strand Larsen in joining Wolves from Celta Vigo Wolves have made their first signing of the summer by bringing in forward Fer Lopez in a £19m deal from Celta Vigo. The 21-year-old left-footer has joined the Molineux club on a five-year contract. Lopez made his senior debut for Celta Vigo in October 2024 and scored four goals in 20 appearances last season. "It's an amazing opportunity for my career to play in the Premier League and I'm very happy, " he told the Wolves website. "[Manager] Vitor [Pereira] told me he thought I was a good fit in the squad and when it's a club like this, you have little to think about. "The team did very good when Vitor came and I think he is top, so I'm very excited to be with him. " Lopez briefly attended school in Suffolk in 2018 and trained with Norwich City's academy before joining Celta Vigo's academy at the age of 10. He helped Celta Vigo finish seventh in La Liga last season. "I cannot explain with words, because it was everything I had dreamed of, " said Lopez. "I played at the Bernabeu twice, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid - they were the best atmospheres in Spain and now I want to do the same, but in England. " Lopez's arrival follows Wolves selling forward Matheus Cunha to Manchester United for £62. 5m and left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri to Manchester City for £31m this summer.
