Wolves confirm the arrival of midfielder Matheus Nunes for a club-record £38m transfer fee from Sporting Lisbon... with 23-year-old signing a five-year deal at Molineux

Wolves have completed the signing of Sporting Lisbon midfielder Matheus Nunes on a five-year deal for a club-record £38million transfer fee.

The 23-year-old played 31 league games when Sporting won the Portuguese league in 2020-21, ending their 19-year wait for the title, and he made a total of 101 appearances during his time at the club.

He has now opted to move to Molineux after rejecting a switch to West Ham earlier this month, and Wolves chairman Jeff Shi has spoken glowingly about the Portugal international after getting the deal over the line on Wednesday.
