Wolverhampton Wanderers’ signing of Joao Moutinho from Monaco for £5 million could easily be the deal of the summer.
The 31-year-old follows Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio to Molineux and he is expected to partner compatriot Ruben Neves in midfield.
With 113 caps, Moutinho is Portugal’s third most-capped player behind Cristiano Ronaldo (154) and Luis Figo (127) and helped them win the European Championships in 2016.
“It was one of my objectives to play in the Premier League,” said Moutinho.
“I hope to help the club achieve their objectives.
“I am very excited, it is a new experience with a great club and I want to help the team, the players and club to progress.
