TBR’s View:

Podence is a skilful attacker that will be an extremely exciting addition at Molineux and it will be intriguing to see if he can make a big impact in the Premier League.

He’s a versatile winger that can play on either flank and has proven he’s a decent goal threat in the final third.

The dazzling wide player has five goals and five assists in 27 games across all competitions this season for Olympiakos, which included a goal and an impressive display in a Champions League group stage match that ended 2-2 against Tottenham.

He should strengthen the options in wide areas for Nuno and will be another big statement signing from Wolves.
