# Wolves: Outlet claims Wanderers will sign Vitinha

**A Portuguese news outlet has claimed that Wolves will now sign Vitinha in the summer transfer window.**

### The Lowdown: Vitinha promise

Upon signing Vitinha on a loan deal from FC Porto at the start of the 2020/21 season, Jeff Shi dubbed him as an ‘exciting’ player and a ‘special young talent’, with an ‘abundance of technique and creativity’ ([Wolves](https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/first-team/20200909-wolves-sign-highly-rated-midfielder/)).

This was clearly evident by the influence that he had on his teammates, as he recorded the highest pass success percentage (90.3%) out of any Wolves player to have played 10 or more matches in the Premier League last term ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolverhampton-Wanderers)).

### The Latest: Vitinha will be signed

As per [Jornal de Noticias](https://jn.pt/) (via [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/wolves-set-complete-signing-soon-player-will-join-contract-four-five-years/)), the Molineux faithful will complete the signing of Vitinha on a permanent deal for €20m (£17.1m).

He will reportedly sign a contract of ‘four or five’ years, after originally starting pre-season training with FC Porto.

### The Verdict: Great news

It is certainly great news to hear that Vitinha will join up with the Wanderers permanently under new manager Bruno Lage.

He became a fans favourite very quickly during his short time at WWFC, with some supporters recently showing their [delight](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/wolves-fans-react-to-vitinha-latest/) at the news.

Nonetheless, at just 21 years of age, Vitinha has a lot of potential, and so £17.1m could turn out to be an absolute bargain if he fulfils it, providing that there are no remaining obstacles in the way to get the deal over the line.
