Wolves have completed the signing of Nelson Semedo from Barcelona in a deal worth £32m.

The Portugal international has signed a three-year deal at Molineux with the option to extend by a further year.

Semedo told the club's website: "I chose Wolves because it's a very good team that plays very good football. Last year they did a very good season and it's a very important team in England, in also Europe. I hope this year we can do very good things."

Semedo's arrival brings Wolves' number of Portuguese players at the club up to 10 with the former Benfica star relishing the international link up.

He said: "I talked with some of them and they told me very good things about the club, about the team. I hope I can help them to succeed too."

Wolves executive chairman Jeff Shi believes the signing is a coup for the club.

He said: "It's isn't often that we have the opportunity to sign a world-class player from a world-class club.

"Nelson's signing shows we will never stop progressing and we are still hungry and humble in our heart."
