Wolves Executive Chairman Jeff Shi has raved about Semedo, and has described the 26-year-old Portugal international as world class.

Shi said: ā€œā€˜Progressive at heart is one of our core values at Wolves. For a member of staff, for a player, for the whole club, we are all making great efforts to progress continuously.

It 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.

Semedo has explained on Wolves’ official website what the fans can expect from him.

The right-back said: ā€œThey can expect a modern right-back, who likes to attack. I can bring the team pace, speed. I like to go forward and come back. They can expect a lot of work and a lot of ambition.

ā€œI’m very excited to be here. It’s a very good team. To play in the Premier League is a dream from me too. So, I’m very excited to begin, to meet my teammates and start training.ā€
