"That's the most important thing" - Wolves signing reveals reason for Molineux move

The Spaniard became Wolves' first signing of the summer in a £19.5million move from Celta Vigo and the 21-year-old has so far done well in pre-season friendlies.

Wolves had been monitoring Lopez for some time before making a move and the attacker insists Pereira's desire to bring him on, and the club's confidence in his ability, was crucial.

"For me, that's the most important thing," Lopez said.

"It's both the club and the manager, that's the best thing.

"He's been talking to me about exactly what he wants me to do without the ball, with the ball, explaining to me how he plays.

"I'm starting to acknowledge that and I'm trying to do it as quickly as possible, to settle in as quickly as possible. 

"I've also seen his work in the past with a lot of young players.

"Maybe it's hard to adapt at the beginning, but I think that if you work hard, you're going to have the opportunities with the manager. The only thing we can ask for is opportunities."

Lopez has started the last two friendlies against Burnley and Stoke, when Pereira has named his strongest possible side.

The forward could keep his place going into the season, as Wolves host Manchester City at Molineux, and he is looking forward to realising his dream of playing in the Premier League.

"I watched a lot of games from when I was a kid," Lopez added.

"It's true that I watched more La Liga games, but it's normal because I lived in Spain, but I tried to watch a lot, especially in all the Champions League clubs, when they play Champions League.

"I like to watch a lot because the fans are crazy in England.

"The fans at Celta were great also, but Jorgen told me that the fans here in England are crazy, in a very good way.

"I wanted to play against City a lot and it's the first game, so that's perfect.

"I want to play against the top clubs. When I was at Celta, I wanted to play Madrid, Barca, Atletico. Those are the matches you're writing in the calendar when you play and you're waiting for them, but all the matches are very difficult.

"I saw last year that every team is so hard to beat in competitions like this. Every game is three points, so it doesn't matter if you beat City or a club that came from the Championship. 

"For me, it's obviously also the biggest stadiums. Anfield, Old Trafford, those are obviously the matches you want to play in, but all of them are very important for me."
