Speaking about his move, the player told the club’s website: “I’m very excited. It was always a childhood dream of mine to play in the Premier League and I look at this achievement as a dream come true.
“Wolves are a team with a big project, with ambitious goals to look forward to, where I’ll get to meet former teammates with whom I had the pleasure to play with in the past and I hope to be very successful here.”
Podence added that the significant Portuguese contingent at Molineux helped convince him to join the club.
”Of course, I spoke with Rui (Patricio), but I also know Ruben (Neves), (Diogo) Jota and (Joao) Moutinho very well.
“I think that’s going to be a big help for me to adapt to English football, which is challenging. It’s really good to have well-known faces around.”
