Wolves have completed their final summer transfer deal with winger Carlos Forbs joining from Ajax on an initial season-long loan.
The 21-year-old Portuguese winger has moved to Molineux in a deal that includes an option to buy for £11.5million next summer.
That option will turn into an obligation to buy if he makes a certain number of appearances, believed to be in double figures but still relatively low.
Forbs learned his trade in the Manchester City academy alongside Wolves midfielder Tommy Doyle and joined Ajax a year ago.
Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs said: “Carlos was one we wanted to do last summer, and then Ajax made a great offer for him, and he got a great move to a huge club, and now we get the opportunity to bring him in.
“So, maybe it’s just a year delayed. This is probably where the window dragging out and the player being available at the end has helped us get a deal over line.
“You can see how a lot of the boys have come out of Man City, we’ve got a great example in Tommy, and done really well at big clubs.
For us to get a player that we wanted last summer, and now with a year’s experience in the top league, at a big, big football club, it’s probably even more exciting than even last summer.
“He’s quick and wants to run in behind. He’s technically good, with the education he had, but he’s really direct, good one versus one, will look to stretch teams and with that pace will give us something we probably haven’t got.”
