Done deal: Following Wolves’ signing A £8.45 million trade will see Pedro Lima land at Molineux.
Earlier this week, Wolves hijacked Chelsea’s attempt to sign Brazilian sensation Pedro Lima, but when can supporters anticipate seeing the teenager at Molineux?
Wolves’ summer transfer window opened quickly, as they brought in three players to bolster Gary O’Neil’s squad for 2024–2025.
When Tommy Doyle permanently relocated from Manchester City to Molineux, business got underway. Shortly after, Rodrigo Gomes joined the Englishman.
Pedro Lima, a Brazilian sensation, was signed by Wolves earlier this week. He will sign a contract on July 1st, when he becomes 18 years old. Wolves defeated Chelsea to acquire Pedro Lima.
When Pedro Lima is scheduled to sign with Wolves in England
Lima stays in his native country for the time being to finish his training before taking a plane to England to see his new home.
The 17-year-old’s plans are now apparent, and Brazilian source NE45 gave some insight into when Wolves supporters may anticipate seeing him come in Wolverhampton.
According to the article, Lima will “travel to Europe on June 29th,” where he will have a medical examination and sign a contract.
In order to be in peak physical condition before his transfer, the adolescent will “carry out a daily training session” until then.
The right-back’s desire to play in the Premier League is what ultimately convinced him to go from Chelsea via Strasbourg to Molineux. He is anticipated to cost Wolves £8.45 million.
Gary O’Neil has Lima in good hands.
The Brazilian was thought by some to be a star for the future, although O’Neil seemed to believe differently before 2024–2025.
Express and Star predict that the Wolves manager will include the teenager in the starting lineup as early as the upcoming season because of his obvious talent and potential, which are too great to be overlooked.
Lima, who is mainly used at right-back, is not limited to providing defensive stability on the right side.
What Wolves supporters should anticipate from the prodigy, whom he called a “super exciting player to watch” while at Sport Recife, was discussed by analyst Ben Mattinson on X.
Lima, who was born in Brazil, is seen as a player who “loves” to be in possession and has “technical brilliance” to his game, all of which point to potential contributions to O’Neil’s team in the future.
A fullback who likes to move forward and be a presence at the back like Lima would flourish under the Wolves boss’s decision to play a back five last season.
Fans of Wolves will have to wait a little more than a week to see Lima’s arrival in Europe, in what is sure to be an incredible trade for the Old Gold.
