Fer Lopez ready to make his Wolves mark

The club are keen to give the 21-year-old, signed for £19.5million from Celta Vigo, time to adapt to his new surroundings.

Although the forward appreciates he may need some time to get up to speed, he is more ambitious in his approach and is keen to make his mark.

"The positions that Pablo (Sarabia) and Cunha left, I think that the opportunity, I didn't know if it was going to come again," Lopez said when asked why Wolves was the right move.

"It's a good opportunity for me to play here in this league and also because I had a lot of confidence from the manager and the whole team and that made my choice easier.

"I also didn't want to leave my boyhood club because it's very special for me, but sometimes things change and it's for the best."

Cunha scored 17 goals last season, 15 in the Premier League with six assists, before making a £62.5million move to Manchester United.

Sarabia, meanwhile, managed three goals and two assists last season before leaving on a free, but leaves an experience gap in the Wolves squad.

Despite the difficult job to live up to their impact, Lopez is confident in what he can bring to the table.

When asked if he can replace Sarabia or Cunha in the team, he added: "I think I can do it, because if not, I wouldn't be here. If not, the club wouldn't believe in me.

"It's obvious that all the players need time to adapt. We saw with Mbappe when he came to La Liga, he was the best player in the world, maybe, and it was hard for him. 

"I think I can do it well, but I know that if maybe at the beginning it's a little bit harder for me, I have in my head, I have the confidence that it's OK, it's normal, that I have to work harder to change the situation, but I hope that I will play good from the beginning."

Wolves are still working on forward additions, too, with Jhon Arias closing in on his move from Fluminense for around £14.7million.

He is due to have a medical next week before signing on the dotted line and making his first move to Europe.
